Springtime Galaxies

The clear nights are so few and far between. I have been desperate to update some of the older images from my collection, Last imaged 10 years ago and really not that good.

A minute collection of data here as the clouds rolled in again. Had a few issues with the guiding and binned a large amount of subs. My error though. I had left the guiding set to Lunar DOH........

So in all I have just 10 x 5 minutes Red, 4 x 5 minutes Green & just 3 x 5 minutes in Blue.

Quite pleased that there are over a 100 faint fuzzies in the frame.

Galaxies here, there, everywhere

This is a lovely image of 2 hours 44 Minutes Iso 1600 in 2 minute subs, autoguided and  dark subtracted,  Near perfect focus on a myriad of M's, NGC's and IC's.  You will of course recognise M95 a beautiful barred spiral 38 million light years away. the Brighter M96 a mere 31 Million LY's. M105 the giant eleptical now known to have a super massive black hole in it's belly. A multitude of other Ngc's and a few IC's, all collectivly known as a member of the Virgo super cluster.
