NGC 7106 is a mixed spiral galaxy in Indus
NGC 7106 (ESO 188-017) is a mixed spiral galaxy in the constellation Indus . It shines at magnitude 13.3 and spans 1.7′ × 1.1′. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in October.
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.
