This image shows you spiral and lenticular galaxies located between τ4 and τ5 stars in the central part of Eridanus. Both galaxies have a major axis of less than 5 arc minutes and the visual brightness of 11th or 12th magnitude. The spiral galaxy NGC1325 is on the right side of the picture, and the faint face-on galaxy NGC1325A is located 14 minutes northeast of it. The lenticular galaxy NGC1332 can be seen at the left end of the photo. The bright central nucleus can be easily recognized visually, and the long and narrow halo extends in the east-west direction.
