Well, I am trying to get the data processed from this months sessions. I do have one to show so far, two more to come.

Here is a little imaged galaxy, IC342, the third largest galaxay in the sky, after M31 and M33. There is some IFN in the area as you can see. It is behind the Milky Way dust, so it is somewhat red shifted.

Shot in LRGB at LAAS in Lockwood Valley, CA.

Very nice,I always like this galaxy.
Kind of faint in a smaller telescope,
but nice.

Hi Floyd,

Very nice image. Just one minor nitpick though. The 3rd largest galaxy in the sky? What about the LMC and SMC? wink

Cheers,

Maurice
