NGC55 L HaRGB

[johnh]

SPX350 F4.5, ST10XME, Astrodon filters.

This huge galaxy 32' is in Sculptor below Aquarius, this barred spiral is 7 mil lyrs away part of Sculptor galaxy group. It has many Ha regions within and fits nicely on my new ST10. It has a visual magnitude of 7.9 and is near to its neighbour NGC300 which is also part of the Sculptor group but is a little closer at 6 mil lyrs away. The Sculptor Group is far enough away to have a small redshift of 100-150 km/s. Lots of background fuzzies.

L=10x10m

Ha-10x10m Binx2

Thanks for looking, John.
