NGC 5247 Galaxy
NGC 7552 in Virgo
is a beautiful, face-on, unbarred spiral galaxy located 60,000,000 light years from Earth.
It is a member of the Virgo II Group of the larger Virgo Supercluster of galaxies.
NGC 5247 is a 'grand design' spiral galaxy that displays no indications of interaction with other galaxies.
Many thanks to my collaborator and friend, Mike Selby, who acquired and calibrated this fine data from Observatorio El Sauce, Chile.
