IC5267 – Chile

Here is a seldom photographed, tightly wound spiral classified as an SO/a type. So it is between a lenticular and an SA. It lies about 71 million ly out. A very close examination of the opposite sides of the core seems to indicate an incipient bar starting to form.

PlaneWave 12.5″ Astrograph with an ST11000 camera, Astdrodon filters, and ASA gearless DDm-85 mount. F/8 LRGB(45/8min L, 8/8min each 2×2 RGB).
