Celestial objects in the Capodimonte Deep Field

This image shows a spiral galaxy and a nebulous object in the Capodimonte Deep Field. The field shown covers 1250 x 750 pixels, or about 5 x 3 arcmin 2 in the sky. Note the very red objects next to the two bright stars in the lower-right corner. The colours of these objects are consistent with those of spheroidal galaxies at intermediate distances (redshifts).

Technical information: this image displays selected areas of the field shown in ESO Press Photo eso0116a at the original WFI scale, hereby also demonstrating the enormous amount of information contained in these wide-field images. North is up and East is left.
