ASTRO: NGC7606 From Colorado Springs
I have been waiting for a shot at this nice spiral for a long time. It is
in the sky when I have the worst conditions and it is a bit low too. Tonight, the sky was clear and fairly steady so I got some good data before the galaxy sank below Cheyenne Mountain. Full size and info: http://www.wheeland.us/galaxy/ngc7606.htm -- Regards, Doug W. www.photonsfate.com -- |

Now that's an interesting galaxy. Don't recall ever looking at that
one. Your shot shows more detail than the POSSII plates. I'm a lot farther north than you but should be able to get it. Much below -15 degrees my seeing goes to pot. Odd as I'm looking over the water and I'd think that would stabilize things but doesn't seem to. Shots to the east (only direction without water near by seem to show the best seeing so I try to shoot that way unless the moon is over there.

Phantastic detail in this galaxy. One of my favourite pictures of recent
times. I habe imaged this galaxy under good skies a few years ago but got nowhere the detail of this picture. Stefan "Doug W." schrieb im Newsbeitrag ...

Nice, Doug. Looks like it might be a close relative of NGC 5985. (cousins,
maybe?) Jon Christensen "Doug W." wrote in message ... I have been waiting for a shot at this nice spiral for a long time. It is in the sky when I have the worst conditions and it is a bit low too.

"Doug W." wrote .... Great image Doug! You have a great set-up and excellent seeing! Looks like this galaxy has a short bar (like the Milky Way)?? George N |
