NGC891 with C8, first time

[Ransu]

This is my first attempt to this beautiful galaxy.

It's taken with reduced C8, modded 1000D 4h4min, CGEM, Guided with qhy5/wo 80mmzs2/phd. mainly 3min subs iso 1600.

Celestron's reducer makes stars at corners look quite bad, i think i have to check collimation of C8 once again.

I hope you like it, i counted more than 20 faint galaxies in wider image:)

Wide field:

Cropped:

Wonderful!

How much reduction did you use? I have an Edge C9.25 on the way in and am very keen on getting the faint small object that do not turn out well with neither my FLT98 nor my Explorer 250P.

/p

Thanks perfrej:)

I used celestron f/6.3 reducer. abt. 105mm distance between reducer's last glass and camera sensor. And congrats about new scope! I think edge HD will be perfect with this object.

That is nice! My favourite object visually which I'll hopefully get to image soon

Lots of galaxies lurking in the background... and you've got the colour of NGC891 nicely too.

Absolutely stunning image.

[Daniel-K]

you captured some lovely detail there well done super galaxy to image but a real pain to find visually

[Tom OD]

Very nice, great pic.

[ultranova]

Great Target, and superb processing, great result

Very nice: colours and the wealth of detail in the dusty central belt...

Gives a reasonable image scale whilst retaining a decent FOV providing some context.

Clear skies...

Great image - lovely colour and detail

That is a very nice image indeed superb i have a c9.25 with a focal reducer once i get it collimated i might have a go at this myself do you think a ED80 as a guide scope on a eq6 might be to much weight ?
