NGC4565 - Needle Galaxy

[dmahon]

Right, just about warmed up, I thought I'd spend several hours on NGC4565 which appears to be a little less common on here. Unfortunately, despite the forecast, I only got 12 subs off before I lost guiding - and when I went outside for the first time in an hour or two (I use VNC to control my laptop remotely from the warmth of my office) I found that I couldn't see a single star in the sky! I suspect most of the subs are not very good, as there must have been some cloud about before everything completely vanished. I had to throw 3 subs away completely.

So much for the BBC forecast (which still suggests clear skies).

Great looking galaxy, it's the first time that I see it! You must be proud of this capture!

You've also managed to capture NGC4562. Nice image.

Great stuff, and one of my favourite galaxies to image.

I hadn't seen this one before either... and sadly didn't even know where it was ! I'm surprised it hasn't had more attention - Very nicely captured...

That's a good start, another evening's worth would really make it shine .

I've added a few more hours tonight. I think it shows some improvement.
