Nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4945 in the constellation Centaurus. ( click on image to see full size ) ( This is an update of my image of NGC 4945 with an additional 22 x 360sec images at ISO400. ) NGC 4945 in the constellation Centaurus is a large spiral galaxy about the size of the Milkyway and around 13 million light years from Earth. It is shown here nearly edge-on and is accompanied in the image by a number of far more distant galaxies; the brightest of which is the 10th magnitude elliptical galaxy NGC 4976 (centre left of the image) which is around 30 million light years away.

Nearby spiral galaxy NGC 4945 in the constellation Centaurus by Mike O'Day ( 500px.com/MikeODay ) ( Still a work in progress really; 10 subs is not really enough for this 9th mag galaxy from my medium polluted skies. These were taken in the last minutes of the wee hours before dawn after I had finished taking subs of comet 252P/LINEAR and I have not had a chance to take any more as it has been cloudy ever since. ) NGC 4945 in the constellation Centaurus is a large spiral galaxy about the size of the Milkyway and around 13 million light years from Earth. It is shown here nearly edge-on and is accompanied in the image by a number of far more distant galaxies; the brightest of which is the 10th magnitude elliptical galaxy NGC 4976 (centre left of the image) which is around 30 million light years away.
