NGC147
About this celestial object
NGC 147, a quiet shimmer: dwarf galaxy and neighbor of Andromeda.
NGC 147 is a spheroidal dwarf galaxy of the Andromeda Group — gas-poor, old in stars, and without notable spiral structure.
259 short exposures draw the diffuse halo from the background; the low altitude damps contrast and sharpness, yet the overall impression remains clear.
With 250 mm focal length, ample surroundings fit in the frame, underscoring the object's isolated character.
