I found only three photos of this galaxy. I decided to be the fourth one)) To see the details of the ring as much as possible. NGC 1343 has an apparent magnitude of 12.8. Angular dimensions: 2.60'x1.6'. It is a barred spiral galaxy. Located in the constellation Cassiopeia. The galaxy is notable for its intense star-forming activity within its inner ring, which surrounds a compact nucleus. A faint bar connects to this ring, and thin spiral arms with visible star clusters extend outward. NGC 1343 is also associated with a faint dwarf companion galaxy.
