ASTRO: NGC 3294
NGC 3294 is a nice galaxy in Leo Minor. It has a decent surface brightness,
so it is a viable target for city skies. I imaged it in two nights (5th and 6th of March 2013), but most exposures in the second night were ruined by clouds. Taken from the middle of Berlin with a 10" Meade ACF at f/11.7 (focal length 2975mm) on a G11 mount, Atik 383 L+ camera, 16x10m L, 7x10m R, 6x10m G, 5x10m B, all binned 2x2. http://ccd-astronomy.de/temp8/3294colourgut.jpg Stefan |

ASTRO: NGC 3294
You picked up a lot of faint fuzzies in the background as well. Sounds
like you are having lousy weather like we have here. One day out of 15 might be useable and that one has a 50-50 chance of being around full moon. Very frustrating. That's one that has been on my to-do list for years. Considering the weather here it will stay there for a long time unfortunately. Snowed again today. We still have 3 feet on the ground. Lake ice is .75 meters thick yet. Normally it is gone by now. Last year was warmer than usual and the ice was gone March 26. We have a long way to go to melt the ice. Fishing opener is only 16 days away. Going to take a major change in the weather (-14C is a typical night temperature right now) to melt it. Some is melting by day but refreezes each night. Temperatures are running 15C below normal. They are supposed to warm up to -5C below normal by Sunday then cool back down again. We can't seem to get out of the freezer. I could survive the cold if it were clear but constant clouds are very discouraging. Wife says I'm getting very grumpy. Nothing some good skies next week wouldn't cure. Long range forecast say "NOPE!" however. Rick On 4/24/2013 4:28 PM, Stefan Lilge wrote: NGC 3294 is a nice galaxy in Leo Minor.
