ASTRO: NGC 5676

When choosing the last object for a recent night of imaging I decided to
reshoot NGC 5676 in Hercules. Remembering my last version of this galaxy
from 2002 (to be found at http://ccd-astronomy.de/temp/5676-40gut.jpg ) I
didn't expect a lot from it, but I had to decide fast because only one hour
remained before the end of astronomical twilight and NGC 5676 was the first
that came to my mind.
The full moon was up, but it was so low in the horizon dust that it was
barely noticeable. Seeing was excellent.

Taken from the middle of Berlin with an 8" SCT at f/6.5, G11 mount, SXV-H9
camera, 19x5 minutes.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

That is a nice galaxy and a good detailed view Stefan... Love to see these
objects.

Stefan,

Wow! I'll say the seeing was excellent! Super detail! That's pushing
that 8-inch SCT for all it's worth!!
