Number 6 in the Herschel 400 list is NGC 205, more commonly known as M110. NGC 205 is a fairly bright elliptical galaxy in Andromeda that is a close companion to the Andromeda galaxy, M31. Some traces of M31 are visible as a glow in the bottom left corner. Interestingly, there appears to be a bright of faint light streching from NGC 205 towards M31. Possibly a stream of stars being pulled from NGC 205 into M31.
