NGC 1187 Galaxy
NGC 1187 in Eridanus
is a barred spiral galaxy of the SB(r)c type, located about 60,000,000 light-years away.
Discovered on December 9, 1784 by William Herschel, precious little is written about it, except for two supernovae, recently observed.
While there are myriad small or distant galaxies in the field, PGC 11469 is the most apparent, just to the left of the bright star at 1 o'clock.
Many thanks go out to my collaborator and friend, Mike Selby, who acquired and calibrated this fine data.
