| Comment : | The galaxy NGC 5906 is a small part of the galaxy NGC 5907, discovered 1850 by J Stoney. It's like a needle, with a better photo it could be seen a tidal stream around the galaxy from earlier collision with other galaxies. This photo is a 1:1 pixel crop around the galaxy. To get a better quality a longer focal length or smaller pixel had been good. A RC (Ritchey Chretien) 10" f/8 telescope had been perfect for me. There are a lot of other objects if you look at the full resolution image, but can you recognize the objects ? To your help: NGC 5906 Astro metry plate solved. |
