Default ASTRO: NGC1169 From Colorado Springs

Got this image on 23 Nov. Just one hour of data before high thin clouds
moved in... as they have each and every clear night lately. Seeing was just
fair.

12.5" RCOS RC at 114"
ST8E/AO7
2x30 min.

Interesting field. Like those edge on guys. Seems more than you
normally find in such a field. I'm having the same cloud problem but
they are rarely thin. Opaque would be the word. So far so good tonight
however. Temp isn't dropping so that is holding off the clouds I get
most nights.

Thanks Rick... I am getting more data tonight and hope to improve the image
s/n.

Beautiful image Doug. Just what I like to see, a nice spiral and some
smaller stuff to go with it.

Great image Doug. The theta shaped barred spiral is interesting. The longer
of the three galaxies at the right is UGC 2496 that's about 18th magnitude.
The other edge-on looks like it might be a companion, but NED shows
different red shifts for the two so they are probably not a group.

It is a nice FOV. I put some more time on the target last night but there
is not much improvement even with twice as much time. Seeing is just not
that good this time of year.

Thanks.

Thanks George... From the red shift for the edge on galaxies, I take it
that they might be 350 - 600 Mly distant so not grouped.
