NGC 1068 and friends
A survey of the sky captured on film by ESO's 1-m Schmidt Telescope. In the left-centre, the galaxy NGC 1068 is visible, among other galactic oases. What looks like the largest object (right-centre) in the picture is actually a star many magnitudes closer than the background galaxies. Satellites passing overhead during the exposure left telltale thin red lines on the image.
