About this image

NGC 7793 is a spiral galaxy in the southern constellation of Sculptor, discovered in 1826 by Scottish astronomer James Dunlop. It is one of the five brightest galaxies within the Sculptor Group. Located at a declination of -32°, it is nearly impossible to view from the UK.

No clue why it's called Bond's Galaxy !
