About this image

NGC 660 is a peculiar and unique polar-ring galaxy approx. 45 million light-years from Earth in Pisces. ASIair software has had a recent update, and now offers a mode of deep sky stacking. This image resulted from a minimum of image processing and the whole process is so quick and hassle free that it is an ideal platform for getting near instant deep sky images for public outreach.
