[M102/NGC 5866, KPNO]

Image of M102 candidate NGC 5866, a lenticular galaxy (type S0) in Draco. This image was obtained from observations with the T2KA CCD camera at the Kitt Peak National Observatory's 0.9-meter telescope in March of 1995. The prominent dust lane as well as the faint bulge with some faint condensations (probably globular clusters) are well visible in this image.
