ASTRO: IC 5332 (galaxy in Sculptor)
This is a "leftover" from my astro holidays in Namibia last September. This
night I decided to get a bit of sleep while the imaging was running, but the thing that was running most was the focus. When I returned to the scope I found that the focus had shifted a lot. To get something useful I had to use LR-deconvolution and additionally resample the image to 74%. Taken from "Kiripotib" farm in Namibia, Meade 10" ACF at f/7.2 on Vixen New Atlux Mount, SXV-H9 camera, 10x10 Minutes for Lum, 15 minutes each for RGB. http://ccd-astronomy.de/temp3/IC5332coloursmallgut.jpg Stefan |

looks like you captured a group of galaxies and also numerous
globulars associated with IC 5332. Some interesting structure in the arms at bottom center.

I was wondering how I missed putting this one on my list. So went to look it up and saw the -35 declination. Amazing from Berlin. Then I reread the text! You did a good job of salvaging it. If you'd not said anything I'd not known. I do find that galaxy to the northeast very weird! Sure wish it was where I could get to it. I've forgotten to turn on my temperature compensation. When that happens the center usually holds but the corners, especially one, go bad really fast. I can really screw up collimation then that corner is not a problem but none of the image is very good. Think it due to only being able to tilt the secondary. That tilts the field a bit causing the problem. If I could move the primary a tad think it would be fixed but no can tilt it. So I live with it.
