NGC 5907 The Splinter Galaxy - telescope processed image. NGC 5907, the Splinter Galaxy (or Knife Edge), is a stunning edge-on spiral in Draco, appearing incredibly thin with a dark dust lane bisecting its length.
NGC 5907 The Splinter Galaxy - unprocessed image. It earned the name "Splinter" because it's viewed perfectly edge-on! Deep images show faint, vast streams of stars around it—galactic "cannibalism" debris.
Last image for the Odyssey Pro from last night. Here is another observation of #NGC5907 #TheSplinterGalaxy. #unistellar #odysseypro #space #astronomy #amateur
NGC 5907 The Splinter Galaxy - telescope processed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. NGC 5907, the Splinter Galaxy, is a razor-thin, edge-on spiral in Draco. It has a prominent dust lane, warped disc, and faint, ghostly stellar streams.
NGC 5907 The Splinter Galaxy - unprocessed image with Moon and Sky Light Filter. This "Knife Edge" galaxy has ghostly stellar streams coiling around it—the shredded remains of a dwarf galaxy it cannibalized billions of years ago.
Good Wednesday evening. Starting tonight’s observations with #NGC5907 #TheSplinterGalaxy. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
Different views of spiral galaxies. 🌀
#NGC5907 is oriented almost edge-on, whereas #galaxy #M101 shows its full disk, because we look along its rotational axis.

This edge-on galaxy has a beautiful halo to process, thanks to its stellar streams visible at longer exposures. 🔭 #astrophotography #ngc5907
