NGC925 is a bared
galaxy positioned about 2 degrees east of gamma Tri that
forms the base of the constellation of Triangulum. The
galaxy has an expectedly large major axis of 10 arc minutes,
but it's very dimmed so you might be needed fairly larger
telescopes to appreciate the light of this minor outer
galaxy. Although this picture hasn't been shown clearly,
somehow you can see a bared structure stretched in east-west
direction and two arms coiled up loosely. And there are
several dots of nebulosity's along the arms. The
constellation of Triangulum is famous for a major galaxy of
M33,
but the compact galaxy of NGC925 is another scenic spot in
this small constellation.

| This image is compiled from 8 - 15 minute
Luminance images. RGB data is 8 each for 15 minutes each for a total of
8
hours of data used. All data was acquired ACP Web Interface using MaxImDl/CCD version 4.56. Images were reduced and saved in MaxIm. The
data was then brought into CCDStack where bloom removal, alignment, and
sigma reject was performed to produce the master image. Photoshop CS 2 was used for curves and levels. The image data was collected over
November 23, 2006. |
