NGC 5907 Edge On Galaxy | |
NGC 5907 is a very nice edge on galaxy. For observers in the northern hemisphere it is very well placed for imagining. The image shown here was taken on a very hazy night when I could not see the stars in the constellation Lyra, except for Vega. This image shows what can be done with modern equipment even under poor viewing conditions. I hope to get an image under better conditions. |
