NGC 6770 is a Spiral Galaxy in the Pavo constellation. NGC 6770 is situated south of the celestial equator and, as such, it is more easily visible from the southern hemisphere. Given its visual magnitude of 11.94, NGC 6770 is visible with the help of a telescope having an aperture of 8 inches (200mm) or more.

NGC 6769-6770-6771 form this superb triple system in the southern constellation of Pavo. It is also known as the Devil's Mask. The trio are 190 million light years away, and receding.

NGC 6770 and 6769 in Pavo This was a real challenge that cost me a couple of nights. The seeing has been a bit unstable recently and the group does´nt really come up high even in the southern hemisphere. I picked approximately 3 hours of the best frames between 1" and 1.8" for luminance and discarded probably about 10 hours of imaging time.

NGC 6769 is a spiral galaxy with very tightly wound spiral arms, while NGC 6770 has two major spiral arms, one of which is rather straight and points towards the outer disc of NGC 6769. NGC 6770 is also peculiar in that it presents two comparatively straight dark lanes and a fainter arc that curves towards the third galaxy, NGC 6771 (below).

2004年5月17日 · NGC 6769是一个拥有明显折断旋臂的旋涡星系，在NGC 6770星系中能很好地区分出两个主要旋臂，其中一个旋臂几乎是笔直的，它指向邻近NGC 6769星系的外圆盘。 在图片上还可以看到，从NGC 6769和NGC 6770星系中脱离的恒星和气体开始在两星系周围形成某种共有的外壳，其形状很像面罩。 如果仔细观察，还可以发现在NGC 6769和NGC 6771星系之间的“桥”。 这一切说明，在这“三剑客”星系之间存在有一种很强的引力相互作用，不仅如此。 根据天文学 …

2023年2月15日 · NGC 6770 (ESO 141-49, PGC 63048, VV 304b and others) is the spiral on the left of the interacting pair. Along with NGC 6769, these are located approximately 175 million light-years away in Pavo. NGC 6771 (ESO 141-50, PGC 63049 and others) is a giant elliptical below NGC 6769 and 71.

This is the superb triple system NGC 6769-71, located in the southern constellation of Pavo (the Peacock) at a distance of 190 million light-years. This composite image was obtained on April 1, 2004, the day of the Fifth Anniversary of ESO's Very Large Telescope (VLT).
