ASTRO: NGC185

Like NGC 147 this is part of the local group and a spherical dwarf
galaxy. Unlike 147 this one has dust clouds as well as star clouds like
M110. I should have expected clouds to roll in but fortunately they
rolled right out again. When I restarted the imaging I somehow set the
camera for 6 minute frames instead of 5 and ended up with 7 of them.
How I don't know. Anyway I combined them all for this image. Lots of
faint fuzzies as well.

14" LX200R @ f/10, 7x6 minutes + 4x5 minutes binned 2x2, STL-11000M,
Paramount ME.

I have tried this galaxy several times and get about the same look. I think
we get close to resolving stars in these close in E types. Nice dust lanes
in your image.

I need to redo it some time of better seeing with 1x1 binning and much
longer frame time. Might start to resolve some of the brighter stars.
I don't get such seeing very often unfortunately.

Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct.
Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".
