ARP 1 - 285 & ARP 104 in Ursa Major

[tomzekine]

Hi!

i continue to post my pictures from belgium

2 pictures with the same set-up:

C8, mount losmandy G11 with mts3-sdi

Sbig ST-7XE

Guided by lodestar on radial guider by phdguiding.

First, Arp 1 and arp 285 in ursa major

1h24 of exposure, 28x3'

It was my first picture with a ccd. February 2011.

FWHM between 3,6 & 4 arcsec

Always in ursa major, ARP 104, the "keenan system" (where is dark vader? )

A beautifull system of a elliptic galaxy and spiral galaxy in interaction.

1h30 of exposure, 30x3'

FWHM between 3 & 3,5 arsec

See you soon!!

Some nice faint galaxies there.

Nice.

Excellent work Thomas bringing these Arps to the forum. Love NGC2857 now thats a galaxy, lovely tidal stream caught in Arp104, and recording mag 20.7 galaxy is a powerful result.

Now those are my sort of picture I'm in full agreement with john! By the looks of it you should be able to pic out a mag 22 as a really faint fuzzy.

Brilliant images. If anybody ever says that a C8 is not good on deep sky I shall direct them here.

Cheers
