Description:

This galaxy, known as NGC 7793, has a micro-quasar called S26. The S26 appears extremely red in the upper left peripheral area of the NGC7793 in this image. The 200% enlarged image is also shown in the square box. This color is clearly different from that of many HII regions visible within this galaxy. It is believed that there is a stellar-mass black hole inside the S26. L:132mim, RGB:42min. Astrodon Gen2 E series LRGB filters. Processed using the Richardson-Lucy Deconvolution.
