NGC 247 (Needle's Eye) and Burbidge's Chain (left)

Very little accumulation (clouds came) and almost full moon.
Didn't want to publish, quality is low, almost no material, but a very interesting object, or rather two.
NGC 247 is 11.8 million light years away from us, diameter about 70 thousand light years.
The angular size of the galaxy is 19.2x5.5 arcminutes.
NGC 247 has a well-visible void in photographs, which is why it is called the "Needle's Eye" galaxy.
Located in the constellation Cetus.
Difficult to observe in the middle latitudes of Russia.

Nearby is a group of 4 galaxies called the "Burbidge Chain".
This group of galaxies is about 350 million light years away from us, which is almost 30 times farther than NGC 247.

I hope to return to this very interesting object and take a quality photo.
