ASTRO: Stephan's Quintet (NGC 7320 et al.)
We have had some very good images of Stephan's Quintet (NGC 7320 and
friends) earlier this year, so I was tempted to go for it as well. In spite of decent conditions (by city standards) it proved to be a difficult object for city skies. At least it was an improvement to my previous images of this object. I think we should agree on a name-change to "Stefan's Quintet" though, sounds much more fitting to my ears. Taken from the middle of Berlin with a C8 at f/7 on a G11 mount, SXV-H9 camera, 35x5 minutes. The image can also be found at http://www.slilge.de/temp/7320Stephen-35x5gut.jpg Stefan |

Looks about the same as mine under dark skies and 6" more aperture!
Amazing what you do with your skies! Only real difference is you needed 3 times the exposure time to cut through the light pollution. I've not that had many hours of continuous clear skies for 2 months! Even if the days are clear the nights cloud up the minute the temp drops. Tonight is looking promising however.

Well I think we can just decide as a group to spell it Stefan's way
It seems that many people misspell words all the time so what's the harm and we can give Stefan a bit more well-deserved exposure too. That's a cool image of a cool set of galaxies. It reminds me that I should take some color to go with my B/w image I took of it earlier in the year. too many targets and too few good nights this time of year. But when the nights are good at least we have long ones now instead of the 4.5hours I get in the summer :-) "Stefan Lilge" wrote in message ...
