Default ASTRO: NGC 2805 From Colorado Springs

It is very faint... can's see much at all on the subexposures.

Thanks...

Doug,

you really got some of my favourites in this session. I like NGC 2805
because it is so faint that only it's brightest parts can be seen. I like
to call this one and similar galaxies (like NGC 4395) "ghost galaxies"
because they barely can be seen...

Stefan

I was out all night Mar. 12/13. Fair conditions... at least there was no
frost or dew. As the night started out, FWHM was about 3.4" for this
image.
