Thanks for the feedback it is an interesting target I try and find targets which have not been imaged much especially at this FL.

Bob

This is a peculiar dwarf galaxy one of the companion galaxies of M101 the Pinwheel galaxy has strongly distorted the disc of this galaxy.

Imaged over two nights 26-03-20 / 11-04-20  both nights were poor as there was high cloud around.

I imaged this before Alan with a shorter FL as part of Markarian’s chain they looked interesting so I had a go with my 11” scope FL of 1764 mm with focal reducer in line I had to crop this image to use some Luminance from last year as the cameras were not well orientated I liked my image better from this year but it Was noisier with only having 15 x300 of Luminance.

Bob 

Imaged over two nights 29-04-19 / 19-03-20 still a bit noisy had to crop the image as last years camera orientation not a good match.

Thanks Wim I have thought about imaging this dwarf galaxy for years but it didn’t look that good when I looked at the images on the Web but I was surprised at the detail in it when I imaged it. I am sure you it will be worth you while to give it a go.

Bob

I was going to image this with my Celestron 11" scope on Thursday night but it was to windy for that set up so I had ago with my WO 90 at F 5.5

A nice image for a difficult target.

Bob

Thanks for the comment

Bob

Thanks Alan it turned out better than I was expecting you just cannot tell what you will get after imaging a target for the first time.

Thanks I had a few try’s at processing it I think this was about the best effort.

Bob

This is the full frame Vdb 1 is a bit small I might try this one with my  11" scope to get a better FOV

Thanks Martin, this one was a bit difficult to process maybe because of the dark dust ?

Bob

Thanks for the feed back it does look a bit dark I will have a look at it again on my computer I find that most images looks fine when I process them but when uploaded onto the web sometimes they look a bit dark.
