ASTRO: Whale galaxy
WHale galaxy,
18 x 90 sec 10SCT at 6.3 No auto guiding stacked in MaximDL CS for some enhancement. Had some trouble with the 6.3 reducer due to circels in de picture (reflection of the primairy) i produced a flat frome the original photo's in CS and substracked it. it worked i think. thx for looking -- Dirk van den Herik A journey of thousand lightyears starts with the first step. |

Shows the obscuring of the nucleus very well. Think you did a good job on those reflections. I need to do the same with my Flame Nebula shot but there the reflections were on top of the nebula making them harder to remove without losing nebula as well. Is the Hockey Stick next? I need to redo mine of this galaxy. I was in the middle of a severe frost problem due to extreme cold (below 30C outside temp). I had one heck of a time with the frost streaks that were on the front of the optical window and on the red filter. Why the green and blue filter didn't frost I've not the "foggiest" idea.

Thx Rick, yep the same for me for the flame, a challange for the clouded
evenings. We have the heat to deal with here in holland and that is pretty unusual for this time of the year. I could not cool my camera enough to get neat pictures. Hockey stick? tell me more pls.. reg Dirk van den Herik A journey of thousand lightyears starts with the first step. "Rick Johnson" wrote in message ...

ASTRO: Whale galaxy
The Hockey Stick is NGC 4656, it is thought to have interacted with the
whale, NGC 4631. I thought I posted it some time back but can't find it on replayer though I can find the pictures my notes say I posted just before and just after it. So in case I marked it as posted but then didn't post it here it is, my normal data as shown by the file name. It sometimes is called the 7 galaxy. Might have a different name on your side of the Atlantic. Rick ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ DvdH wrote: Thx Rick, yep the same for me for the flame, a challange for the clouded evenings.

one other comment but for Dirk
Dirk, thank you for emailing your binary to me directly. Again, the SBCGLOBAL server is not passing binaries from the Netherlands for whatever reason. Your image is pretty good and it is definitely moving in the right direction... "Rick Johnson" wrote in message ...

Very good image Dirk.
I like "whale galaxy" better than "fishtail galaxy" which I have heard at another place. Although "herring galaxy" would be ok too ;-) Stefan "DvdH" schrieb im Newsbeitrag bel.net...
