NGC 891
A spiral galaxy in the constellation Andromeda, seen edge on, which William Herschel discovered in 1784.
Le Cœur et l'Âme · Photograph by the author · 3h 47m of exposure, DwarfLab DWARF 3
It is about 31 million light-years away and stretches over 11.7 arcminutes, for a width of 1.6. A band of dark dust runs along its plane and hides its core: the galaxy is harder to see than its magnitude promises. In the photo, the disc crosses the centre of the frame at a slant, cut down the middle by that dark line.
