NGC 6555

Here's one that you don't see every day. In fact, I was only able to find a couple of grainy black and white images of this galaxy during my research.
It's located about 20 degrees due south of Vega in the constellation Hercules.
A larger image, imaging details, and information about this galaxy can be found here:

Thanks for looking,

[COLOR="Purple"]That's nice Dan!
A very interesting galaxy. It's mag 12.3...wonder why it's not photographed much? Might be a visual object too with the right scope and sky conditions.

Hi Dan,
Great image!The large version has much detail.
I for one have never seen an image of this before.

Thanks!

Dan,a very interesting galaxy ! the colour looks a bit strange on my monitor .

Oh my, Dan! That's a "tiny" (meaning far-out, I mean, far off) little bugger! Nice catch! Looks like you may have a reference for future images!

Dan,
Nice image! Yep, there are way too many galaxies out there. Seems like with the eqipment nowadays, we have access to many of them. I enjoy venturing out from the beaten path occasionally too.

I kind of like the color. It seems well saturated and I prefer a deeper saturation than frequently seen. But the edges of the galaxy may be a bit more to the violet than I would have guessed.
