NGC 3718, 3729 and the Hickson 56 group in Ursa major

Hi,

I wanted to do something different tonight and for a change the clouds stayed away but the curse of my 150 PDS did not. Despite the best of my efforts the DEC axis wouldn't guide. So I wasted 4.5 hours of imaging time. In the end I dusted off the old ED 80 reset everything and gave it a go before the clouds put an early end to the proceedings. The data is very short and hence noisy so I have been "conservative" with processing. Nothing to write home about but better than nothing I guess.

11 X 600s subs, SW ED 80 ( Blue Tube ) with a TRF 2008 FF/FR, Atik 428 EXC, IDAS P2 filter, all on HEQ5 Pro. Processed in PI and PS.

Thanks for looking.
