NGC5907, Spiral Galaxy in Draco





NGC 5907 is another example of a spiral galaxy seen edge-on. The dark dust lanes through the middle are very similar to the dark patches that obscure the Milky Way.

NGC 5907 is about 50 million light years distant and about 85,000 light years across, roughly half the size of the Milky Way.



This image was a 30 minute exposure with the MX7C camera and the 16" telescope.
