Excellent Bernard.  Looks like there should be some gravitational lensing going on...  Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

 

This is an image of IC 5332. It is a face-on spiral galaxy about 39 million light years away in the constellation Sculptor. The galaxies around IC 5332 are actually due to a chance alignment with more distant galaxies. IC 5332 is part of the Sculptor group of galaxies, one of the closest galaxy groups to our Local Group.

 

Comments and suggestions appreciated.
