Wikipedia says that
NGC 7217
is a gas-poor system whose main features are the presence of
several rings of stars concentric to its nucleus: three main
ones – the outermost one being of the most prominent and the
one that features most of the gas and star formation of this
galaxy – plus several others inside the innermost one
discovered with the help of the Hubble Space Telescope; a
feature that suggests NGC
7217's central regions
have suffered several starbursts.There is also a very large
and massive spheroid that extends beyond its disk.
It was my more or less randomly
choiced (but well placed) galaxy in order to use the time
before my main object would be well visible from my yard.
With not so much data the result is perhaps not too bad.
