Any observations of ESO 566-7, a very "serpentine" galaxy in Hydra?
So, in my never-ending search for extragalactic H-II/star-forming regions, I stumbled upon the galaxy ESO 566-7 in southern Hydra. In images, it is an awesome looking galaxy that is now on my list to observe next time I get to use my friend's 36-inch dobsonian. I say that because while I'm sure I'll be able to see the core of each galaxy with my 16-inch, it is the thought of seeing those gorgeous, opposing spiral arms that makes my mouth water!
