Object(s): M74
Category: External galaxy.
Class: SAc
Constellation: Psc
Data: mag 9.4 size 10' x 9.4'
Position: RA 01:37 DEC 15:47
Description:
In Pisces, just E of Eta Psc. If we compares with M77, M74 is much weaker in brightness and offers a very insipid spectacle in comparison of NGC 253. the galaxy thus appears a small nebulosity which shows an aspect lengthened per moments and a circular aspect in other moments. Although less brilant that M77, M74 is of bigger size and does not present luminous concentration in the core.
