ASTRO:NGC 5905/5908

I already have a decent version of this field in Draco containing NGC 5905
(face-on) and NGC 5908 (edge-on), but because of lack of better objects in
the late spring skies decided to reshoot it in two nights in May. In spite
of good conditions (by city standards) I didn't get much deeper than in the
previous (shorter) version, but detail is a bit better.

Taken from the middle of Berlin with an 8" SCT at f/6.5, G11 mount, SXV-H9
camera, 67x5 minutes.

The picture can also be found at

Wow - a barred spiral and a near edge on in the same frame! Priceless.
You have a number of other objects in your image as well. I'm off to my
catalogs to investigate. Thank you - Rod

ps - Yes Jupiter has been very low in the sky for you. It's ok here but
nowhere near overhead. Mars will be different, I just hope the dust
settles.

Very nice Stefan !!!

What we call in Italy "Prendere sue piccioni con una fava!!" "kill two
bird with one stone!!" :-))
