The seeing was especially bad at the time I took this image, but it's such a nice-looking galaxy I thought I would post it anyway. I'm sure there will be some interest in capturing this galaxy in wider-field shots; it has fascinating structure and would make a great color target.

Four 15-minute images with the ST-10XME on C14/Paramount ME.

hi,

That is a nice galaxy.. you're right it would make a nice wide field shot ( film or st 10 on a short FL system ). In Uranometria 2000 I can count 15 galaxies in a 2 square degree field.


clear skies,
