DETAILS NGC7377 is a large spiral galaxy possibly of LINER activity. The even distribution of stars precludes the visibility of spiral arms. Supernova SN 2004db was discovered here. Although there are many galaxies in this image there is little data associated so only the more obvious have been arrowed.
