NGC 3379 (M 105) / NGC 3384 / NGC 3389

I had an unexpectedly clear night last night - the best for ages... I managed to get some SII subs for IC 410 but when that disappeared below my horizon I pointed the scope at M105 to see what I could get. Now the focal length of the scope I was using (Tak FSQ-85) is less than ideal and I had the narrowband filters loaded up, so this was just a bit of fun. 30 x 300s subs, L only. The pull out is obviously a crop from the main image.

Hi Xgas long time no see mate , hope you are well.

Even though it's not what you went out for it's still a nice bit of data you collected there, some distant detail once blown up, very nice.

Nice extra I got a DSO I wasn't aiming for the other night too - not processed yet.

Great images - think I prefer the wide shot!

Thanks all - yes I might go back to NGC3389 (top left of the trio) with the 11HD at some point; looks like quite an interesting object. I can understand why M105 is rarely imaged; pretty dull!
