Arp 330 in Draco

[Mike JW]

Arp 330 in Draco is classified under Dr Arp's galaxy chains. Decent images pick up quite a few other galaxies in the area. The chain is made up of mag 16/17 galaxies, in the region of 360 to 410 millions lyrs away. I got 6 galaxies, some folk say there are 7 or maybe 8.

This shot was taken  when the galaxies were low down so I might pick up more at a higher elevation.

A fascinating chain of galaxies, pretty faint too, nicely caught!
