NGC 1097 in Fornax (APO120 Ra).jpg
This is the bright (magnitude 9.5) face-on barred spiral galaxy NGC 1097 in Fornax the Furnace. Just on its northern edge is the companion galaxy NGC 1097A. The main galaxy is also classified as a Seyfert galaxy, due to its active quasar-like nucleus housing a massive black hole. NGC 1097 is also Caldwell 67 and Arp 77.
