NGC 7667 Galaxy
NGC 7667 may appear as a blur, but this celestial deep-sky object is a spiral galaxy — classified as Sm. Sm means that its appearance is somewhat irregular with undefined spiral arms. Also known as PGC 71345 and ZWG 380.50, this 14.1-magnitude galaxy is situated in the southeastern part of PISCES, near the Kappa (κ) Pisces star. You would need at least a large amateur telescope to witness this wonder.
