Also from one of the bright nights at the end of March is this image of
NGC
4762 (the very thin galaxy to the left).

Cool image Stefan! That edge-on galaxy goes on forever! The elliptical is
NGC 4754.

These are pretty bright and big galaxies so they should be visible in an 8
or 10 inch scope under dark sky. They're around mag 10 and my 20-inch Dob
will get down to around 13th or 14th mag on galaxies from my front yard and
at least another mag dimmer from my dark-sky camp. I'll have to put the pair
on my targets list for both visual and imaging.

BTW, I often print out my CCD images and related info to use as references
for visual observing, so I get a little more use out of the imaging effort.
