M88 and Friends

Here is an image from data earlier this month. In this field, there are two other small galaxies of Mag 16.6 and Mag 18.7 besides M88 itself.

Great shot Jim. You did a nice job processing this image. The detail within the galaxy looks really nice.

Hi Jim,

That is just superb.

You just get better and better.

I have finally gotten my observatory up and running with some major construction mods. Plus I got the RCOS 12.5 inch and NJP / Sbig 2000XM all tuned and running to perfection.

Plus we had several gorgeous nights here in Sydney recently (sorry for those who have had a long winter - summer here equals clouds, winter equals really clear).

I'll be posting the results of some of tose once I process them which could be a little while.

Greg.
