NGC891, Spiral Galaxy in Andromeda





NGC 891 is a striking 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 891 is about 30 million light years distant and comparable in size to the Milky Way.



This image was a composite of 10, 5 minute exposures with the MX716 camera and the 16" telescope.
