The Silver Streak Galaxy (NGC4216)

The Silver Streak Galaxy NGC4216 at the centre bottom of the image, although I think it may also be called the Weaver Shuttle galaxy, which seems not unreasonable.  Situated in Virgo and is about 55 million light years away.  Several smaller galaxies about, but I particularly like the blue spiral arms of NGC4189 to the upper left of the image.  Taken with an FSQ106, with an ASI1600 mono with 240 minutes of luminance (3 min subs), an 1 hour each of RGB (1 minutes subs).

 

Cheers

 

Phil
