More M74

Nice CCD image of M74

Image of M74 from an anonymous source

The bright Sc spiral galaxy M74 in a pseudocolor V-band image

taken with the Lowell 1.1-meter telescope.

This is an excellent example of the subtype dubbed Sc(s) in the

de Vaucouleurs extension of Hubble’s galaxy classification, in which

the arms arise in a spiralling pattern from the nuclear region itself

rather than from a surrounding ring.

From Bill Keel’s

image collection
