depending on the season i shoot wathever crosses my telescope, so that
includes the galaxy's in this season.
What i like about galaxy's is the fact that when watching galaxy's you
look outside our own galaxy, into the deep so to say..
Nebula's are in most cases to faint for my very light polluted area.


if you've not tried nebulae with an Halpha filter you may be surprised. The
San Francisco Bay area is about 7-10 million people and that's where I shoot
my color emission line images. at the best my skies are mag 3.5

for me the galaxies are much more difficult because I have to use a
broadband filter instead of narrow. Granted my exposure times are long, but
that's just a tracking issue

well the funny thing to me Dirk is that normally there'd be about zero
chance that I would have shot that galaxy. I hardly ever shoot galaxies
and the ones I have shot are terrible typically.

but by sheer accident I had shot that one and it is actually one of my
better galaxy shots, even though it isn't all that good.

news I'm not Rick, Stefan or George but I have imaged it before using my
AP180EDT and the CM10

I rarely image galaxies but this is the time of year that I do :-)

Dirk,

I don't have it. I'll have to add it to my targets list. There are some
other interesting galaxies in the area too, like Holmberg VIII, an
irregular!

Nice image!!
