NGC 891 Galaxy

NGC 891, the Silver Sliver, is a 100 thousand light-year wide spiral galaxy viewed perfectly edge-on from 30 million light-years away. A dense, dark dust lane bisects its brilliant disk, highlighting its similarity to the Milky Way’s own structure, while numerous streams inject gas into its halo, driven by intense supernovae activity. The photos were acquired with a Seestar S50 telescope using a total integrated exposure of 1.5 hour under Bortle 7 skies.
