NGC1055
About this celestial object
NGC 1055 appears as a thin edge in Cetus — a galaxy in profile.
NGC 1055 is an edge-on spiral galaxy in Cetus, not far from the well-known M77 — a pleasing pair in the telescope.
58 exposures add up to just under 10 minutes; enough to suggest the long streak of the disk.
At 250 mm and f/5 the wide field lets the edge-on aspect sit gracefully in the starfield.
