IC 1191 NED01 is an early spiral galaxy in Hercules

IC 1191 NED01 is an early spiral galaxy in the constellation Hercules. It shines at magnitude 16.0 and spans 43″ × 6″. It is faint: a 10-inch or larger telescope, or a camera, and it is highest in the evening sky in July.

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.
