rbrecher Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I've spent the last month or so grabbing an hour here and an hour there to capture an interesting pair of interacting galaxies in the Virgo Cluster, NGC5746 and NGC5740. NGC5746 reminds me of NGC891 and NGC4565. Enjoy! http://astrodoc.ca/ngc5740-46/ Clear skies,Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkS Posted June 16, 2016 Report Share Posted June 16, 2016 These distant galaxies can be tricky. You've caught the colour contrasts beautifully! BTW, the best SQL I've measured is at nature conservation property - unfortunately 700km from home - 21.78. The best I've obtained at my 'best within easy reach' site is 21.55, but this site seems to be gradually deteriorating as Melbourne grows - and the local councils don't give a damn about light pollution. However it still does better than 21.2 most nights. The best seeing I've experienced - as measured by CCDInspector - is 1.8". Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
