- Thin Galaxies (Her) -

Here I will present some quite thin galaxies with an axis ratio of at least 1:5. Nevertheless this value is calculated from the given angular size, so the visual impression can differ.

12.5" f/4.5, 160x, SQM-L 21.3
bei 111x zeigt sich blickweise ein leichter zarter Schimmer OW-elongiert, mitunter ist die Superthin indirekt auch länger zu halten - Elongation 4:1 - meist ist jedoch nur der kernige Teil sichtbar - bei 160x blitzt indirekt hin und wieder eine stellare Aufhellung auf
