Hello,
I have always wanted to see how deep my little Sky 90 could go. I also have also wanted to take a nice image of Markarian's Chain. So I did both :-) Attached is about 4 hours worth of combined images over the last few nights. I have marked the image with the deepest Galaxy that I could identify by name. It is IC 3355 at mag 15.2. I know that there are Galaxies in this image deeper than 16.0 but was unable to come up the names so I didn't mark them. There must be more than 100 Galaxies in this image though! Anyways, something different...
Tak Sky 90 II f4.5
ST8xe
Approx 4 hours combined images (each 5min)
Thanks for looking,
Chris Woodruff
