MarkAR Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 Lovely image, looks like a bit of a distant tiddler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was taken with my ED80, so it was never going to be a close-up. I could have cropped it tighter, but wanted the 3 blue stars included, on the bottom right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stars were bloated in the original, and it looked awful. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Astrobdlbug Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 (edited) Another distant galaxy, and from my friend that is wikipedia - between 45-61 Million Light Years distant - thats just amazing. Galaxy Season always has some really interesting images - this is one of them right at the start of this year's crop and I absolutely applaud the use of your ED80 as I am a sucker for wide fields and yes I agree the blue stars really do add to the image and its visual appeal. Imaging galaxies with a refractor really kind of says to me that I should be getting my refractor back onto the mount and putting the reasonably small pixels of the ASI1600 onto some galaxies - Bryan Edited February 8, 2021 by Astrobdlbug spelling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ED80 has gone into storage, I have a new toy to play with, an Esprit 120. Should give my galaxy images a lot more detail. Brian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
