NGC2146

[JKB]

Well after reading this months S@N Deep sky tour I thought I would have a go at this object. Lovely Barred Spiral Galaxy with a lot going on inside it!

Had lots of problems with dew last night but Im actually quite happy with the result. 1hr of 3min subs unguided. 150p on HEQ5 using EOS30D.

Considering the distance this is (47Mly) it aint too bad! Stacked in DSS and finished in PS

Comments as always welcome.

Cheers

Jamie

Hi Jamie.

You should be very happy with that.As Peter has said the colours are very evident,and the structure of the Galaxy is nicely seen.It amazies me what can be acheived with a DSLR camera.Conditions,especially the Dew problems dont help,so well done.

Mick.
