More M110 -

The outer immediate companion of Andromeda, M110 (or NGC 205).

Unlike most dwarf elliptical or spheroidal galaxies,

it has recognizable dust clouds (two are visible here at about

the 7 o’clock and 11 o’clock positions from the nucleus) and clear

signs of recent star formation. This image shows a 9-arcminute

section, seen in red light with the Lowell 1.1m telescope, focal

reducer, and TI CCD. The nonlinear inensity mapping shows both

the outer envelope and innermost bright, sharp nucleus.
