Fuzzy Frenzy :)

[Beyond_Vision]

Last Tuesday I was intending to have a another bash at the Markarians Chain and set off my scope using Starry Night Pro 6 to the target and kicked off the rig. After reviewing the subs later I noticed it wasn't centred on Markarians chain but was centered on nearby M88 so I left it there. I gathered over 70 x 10 minute exposures over 2 nights but ended up ditching around 30+ .

M88 as it turns out is quite small in the field of view but is surrounded by dozens of small galaxies so I was pleased that I had gotten something after what seems like an eternity since that last image I have done.

M88 is part of the Virgo Cluster of Galaxies and is around 47 Million Light Years from Earth.

Its nice to see such a wide field. It gives you a real sense of space. As you say a number of fuzzies show up well.

I like it a lot! I think the star color came out nicely as well.

I like it a lot as well, love all that space an those fainter galaxy's around there very nice.

That's a nice deep image , the more you look the more you see. What happened with the 30+?

[Shibby]

Very nice field and good colour!

[Beyond_Vision]

Thanks all nice to get an image at last

Thin cloud plus the focus may have shifted. I may have another go through the data to check them more closely

A lovely shot , the colour is spot on

Wow so much there, I hope you don't mind but I ran it through Astrometry.net

Really nice, a lot of detail in M88 too.

It must be great to have got a good deep image after all the gear issues at SGL7

Really nice deep shot.

[MikeD]

Great catch, lovely colour and loads of nice detail even at that scale.

Yes Rob it was really annoying to come away from SGL7 with no images after having such clear nights

Glad to see your up and running again after the frustrations you were having at SGL7....

Thanks Pete and also thanks John for running it through Astronomy.net. I tried to upload it there and couldn't get it to work

A wonderful wide field image Kevin. There is lots going on in this one.The stars look really sharp with real nice colour.

Finally an image

I love these fuzzy ones, but somehow can never get astrometry.net to work for me either :s

Thanks Tim

Phew..finally an image at last...I can count about 16 galaxies.Can anyone see any

more ?
