Default ASTRO: NGC 2805 From Colorado Springs

I was out all night Mar. 12/13. Fair conditions... at least there was no
frost or dew. As the night started out, FWHM was about 3.4" for this image.

Nice one. 3.4" is about my typical seeing but I think the true RC
handles it better than the SCT version does.

Someone's getting good skies this dark of the moon. Please send it this
way. I'm under clouds, rain and snow through the weekend they say.

That's a really weird one. My list just got another addition. I wonder
what that guy collided with.

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

I had to look this guy up. Seems there's a neat trio of galaxies 8
minutes NE that are all tidally interacting with each other and 2805. I
tried to read an article Google found but it wasn't public. Yet Google
had cached it, including the graphics. If interested, put on the hip
waders and go to:
http://72.14.253.104/search?q=cache:ygxuATePYMEJ:www.aanda.org/articles/aa/full/2005/20/aa2261-04/aa2261-04.right.html+ngc+2805&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=5&gl=us

I put it in brackets that should make it work without pasting together.
If not it might take a bit of pasting to get to work.

I think I should be able to get all of them in my much larger field of
view. So I'm going to bump this guy to the top of the list if weather
ever permits.

Doug,

you really got some of my favourites in this session. I like NGC 2805
because it is so faint that only it's brightest parts can be seen. I like to
call this one and similar galaxies (like NGC 4395) "ghost galaxies" because
they barely can be seen...

That will make a nice view indeed.

Thanks...

It is very faint... can's see much at all on the subexposures.

Thanks...

Rick,

I attached my version of NGC 2805 (8" LX200 at f/6.3, 80x5 minutes) that
encompasses the galaxy trio you mentioned. I'd like to see an allnighter
under dark skies of this faint object.

I might as well put it back on the back burner after that shot of yours.
You even picked up the HII region the paper talks about! That one
gives the POSS plates tough competition.

Would be great to see what the 18" can do on a good night.
