M77 - NGC1055 and friends in Cetus
M77, also known as NGC 1068 or the Squid Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Cetus at about 47 million light-years. In the bottom left we find NGC 1055 at a distance of 52 million light-years, with a diameter of about 115000 light-years. The separation between NGC 1055 and M77 is about 7 million light-years. Other galaxies in this field of view are NGC 1087 (top right) and NGC 1090 at distances of 80 and 124 million light-years. This image was recorded in 12.5 hours at my remote observatory in Hakos-Namibia with a SW Esprit 120ED , ZWO ASI2600MC camera on a 10 Micron 2000HPS mount
