NGC 6935 & NGC 6937 in Indus

Click on image to see the full frame version

Each over 200 Million light years away, these two galaxies in Indus appear quite small and each
galaxy is only 2 arc min in size. With a prominent blue ring of star formation, the tight spiral
NGC 6935 is the closest of the two at 209 Million Light years, while the open and predominantly
blue spiral NGC 6937, is 220 million light years away.

Isn't it nice when people go after different targets? :-)
Love it, looks great as always. NGC 6935 looks like it has outer shells maybe from a merger between two galaxies? Hope you get some interesting LMC stuff.
