wow - NGC 891 last night

[nytecam]

Two great sessions last night with dinner in between !  Did some more pics in twilight to the west [M13/27/56/57 + comet Lovejoy] and later more serious stuff in east later when dark - the bright 1st quarter moon due south [1/1000s shot below burnt out all but terminator] so no worries   Here for starters is edge-on gxy NGC 891 in And in 140s via the Lodestar-C - as usual no filters use.  891 is one of my favourites - is it on your list?

Thats a very good capture of NGC 891 Maurice. It's on my list for when I can get out on a clear night.

Thank Allan - got more DSOs last night despite initial haze and later onset of fog but objects probably too obscure for this forum :-)

Probably too obscure for this forum????

I take umbrage at that comment too ... talk about pompous elitism ... 

[Carl Reade]

The post maybe on the wrong sub forum? Maybe why I dont post so much.

Whoops. Never underestimate the readership. There just may be someone more knowledgable and experienced amongst the great unwashed. I say "Let them eat cake".

Hi Maurice

Very nice!

I'll give NGC891 a go when I next get an opportunity. Might be a little too dim for my SDC435.

Clear skies

Like the ngc 891 think it would be good as a photo.

Like the way it draws you in visually. .very nice

Thanks Shirva and Paul for your interest - much appreciated - I'm doing a YT video of ALL my DSO stuff for December so far - may take a day or so - includes some of the obscure stuff like MKN50 and King 19 that I mentioned earlier and apparently ruffled some feathers - sorry about that

No problem Maurice ,

I'm all for seeing and being introduced to new "more obscure" targets , especially in M42 season ... ... it was just the way you inferred that we were not worth showing them to that ruffled me .

There are a million and one things up there to see , give or take a few , and with so many moons of observing under your belt you must have plenty of gems tucked away in the memory banks to share with us less experienced folk.

Apologies for my rather harsh and hasty comment ... 

Look forward to seeing those clusters.

What is that meant to mean, do you have your own private universe or something.

Hi Steve - we've all forewarned about missinterpreting posts so as no slight was intended I'll put it down to that

The clusters you requested @ http://www.cloudynights.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=6250296&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=all&fpart=1&vc=1#Post6250296
