Messier 102, aka NGC 5866 and the Spindle Galaxy, (at right) and the edge-on galaxy NGC 5907, called the Splinter Galaxy, at left, in Draco. NGC 5866 is often labelled as M102, but #102 on Messier’s list is usually considered to be a mistaken re-observation of M101.

The smaller galaxies NGC 5908 (left) and NGC 5905 are at lower left. North is up. This is a stack of 8 x 9 minute exposures at f/6 with the 130mm Astro-Physics apo refractor and Canon 6D at ISO 1600. Taken from home on April 19, 2015.
