Arp 212 a.k.a. NGC7625 – small but beautiful – and rarely seen on astrobin
About the Object
NGC 7625, a.k.a Arp 212, is a peculiar galaxy located about 75 million light-years away in the constellation Pegasus. Its compact, irregular appearance and unusually bright central region distinguish it from more conventional spiral galaxies. The galaxy contains extensive dust structures and numerous regions of active star formation, giving it a mottled appearance with bright knots of young stars embedded in its disturbed stellar disk. It is rarely seen but quite contrast and colorful - and a nice setting with the “nearby” bright (6.7 mag) blue star HIP 115288 aka HD220091.
