Default ASTRO: NGC 2366

NGC 2366 is a quite similar object to IC 2574 that Rick posted a while ago.
I only planned to do luminance shots but added a bit of colour in a later
night to see which colour the bright knot has.

Taken from the middle of Berlin with an 8" SCT at f/6.5, G11 mount, SXV-H9
camera, 40x5 minutes for Lum and 5 minutes each for RGB (2xbin).

The picture can also be found at

ahh, yes, one of those diffuse ones like Rick recently posted.

those are just too cool Stefan

you may want to try halpha on that one...

Great image Stefan! Nice color work.

Looks to have those same blue knots. You still have the 8"?

If I don't have too much snow in my Polaris tree I'll give this one a
shot next year. When it was positioned right the tree was leaning a
good 5 degrees due to the weight of the snow it was carrying and I
couldn't hit it. By the time a wind storm blew it out the galaxy was
too far west and again in that tree.

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

Rick, this picture was taken before I got the 10". I still have a backlog of
8" pictures...

Great image! It's another member of the M81 group. Here's one of many
interesting notes from the NED:

10. 1994CAG1..B...0000S
NGC 2366
M81/NGC 2403 Group
Hubble Atlas, p. 39
SBmIV-V
PH-555-B
Oct 31/Nov 1, 1951
103aO + GG1
30 min
NGC 2366 is a member of the
M81/NGC 2403 Group, as originally defined and
catalogued by Holmberg (1950). It resolves into
stars as easily as other members of the group,
such as NGC 2403, M81, IC 2574, HoI, HoII,
and NGC 4236. The brightest stars begin to
resolve at about B = 19. The distance modulus of
the group is m - M = 27.6 (Tammann and
Sandage 1968). The value has been confirmed
(Freedman and Madore 1988).
The largest of the HII regions at one end of
the major axis has a diameter of about 12" for its
high-surface-brightness main body. The extent of
its outer associated filaments is 18". These
angular diameters correspond to linear diameters
of 190 psc and 290 psc, respectively, at a
distance of 3.3 Mpc (Tammann and Sandage 1968).
The redshift is v_o = 281 km/s.
