NGC660
About this celestial object
A fleeting look at NGC 660 already shows the peculiar ring.
The inclined ring of material around the galactic disc is characteristic and rare, a striking oddball in Pisces.
At roughly 5° elevation and with short integration the impression remains delicate but unambiguous.
19 frames at 250 mm focal length yield about three minutes of net time, enough for the first hint of the ring.
