Description

M102, aka NGC5866 is an edge on galaxy 55 million light-years distant in the constellation Draco (Dragon). This galaxy is a good example of the difference in resolution between my ground based amateur image and the Hubble Space Telescope image. Small distant objects really make the Hubble shine!
