NGC 7065A is a late spiral galaxy in Aquarius

NGC 7065A is a late spiral galaxy in the constellation Aquarius. It shines at magnitude 14.3 and spans 1.1′ × 1′. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in September.

Galaxy: a system of billions of stars, gas and dust held together by gravity, far outside the Milky Way. Spiral galaxies have a disk with arms; elliptical galaxies are smooth, round or oval swarms of older stars.
