using my 9 TMB Apo with a TeleVue 0,8 reducer-flattner I managed to capture this image of M 1 3and its surrounding galaxies in a night with quite a good transparency. I used SXV M25C and SX original software for image acqusition, color conversion, slight treching. Images Plus was used for alignment, stacking and digital development. final processing was done in Adobe PS CS2. 44 minutes of total exposure time. I`m somewhat proud that my 9er Apo saw so many galaxies in the surrounding: IC 4617 and NGC 6207; MAC 1641+3653 (Mag 16.0); MAC 1641+3653; MAC 1641+3654 (mag 17.5); MAC 1641+3654); MAC 1641+3652 (mag 17.0)
