ASTRO: NGC 5466
I have gathered some not-so-good data of galaxies in recent nights with my
new QHY8 camera. Imaging faint objects under city skies is obviously not the favourite pastime of a colour camera. I'll post some more of these over easter weekend, for now a picture of globular cluster NGC 5466 will have to do. Taken from the middle of Berlin with a 10" Meade ACF at f/6.4, QHY8 camera, G11 mount, 12x5 minutes. The picture can also be found at http://ccd-astronomy.de/temp2/5466-12x5gut.jpg Stefan |

Due to the light loss in its filters would going to longer exposures help any? I'd think they'd not build the LP as fast as the unfiltered camera. Looks more like an open cluster in this shot. It does have nice color, that galaxy to the west is a bit redder than in my shot but since mostly the core is seen that might be due to the blue part being lost. Looking for the others as they are processed. Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh". |
