The little sombrero NGC 7814

[orionoffelt]

I had a go at this little galaxy and got 12 x 10 minutes of Luminance on 09-10 and 02-11-15 the weather has been against me to get any more data I combined this with some old RGB data of 15 x 10 min and 8 x 7 minutes this old RGB data was poor with some eggy stars but I hope to get some new colour data at some stage I thought I would still post it as it is a galaxy which seems not to be imaged often not much to it apart from the dust lane. QHY8Pro and QHY9m cameras and Celestron 280 mm scope at F 6.3.

I am a big fan of the Sombrero (M104) I was not aware of a little one

Nice job you did there !

[michael.h.f.wilkinson]

Nice one. Not one we see very often

Very nice image. Was not aware of this target and must add it to my list.

Excellent effort at that focal length!  Hats off to you sir, pun fully intended.

Nice one Bob.

Last June, during tests in my obsy, I got a few subs of this spiral Galaxy in Pegasus with my Edge14" at f10,9. There were plenty of other smaller Galaxies (higher V) in the FOV of the subs going from V14,1 (IC 5381) to V18. => https://www.dropbox.com/s/1xqu1u8chlomhv2/NGC%207814_SEO_test.jpg?dl=0

Thanks for the replies my new Luminance data showed up other background galaxies but due to my old RGB data being way out of frame I had to crop it a fair bit so lost a lot of the background this was my Luminance image   https://www.flickr.com/photos/bmgscott/22690342010/in/datetaken/  I will get some new RGB when I can.

Very nice and interesting image there Bob. Your colour data is doing you no favours at all but the luminance is lovely and I think stands up very well as a mono image as it is

I didn't know that the Sombrero had a "mini me"... Nice image.

Very dark dust lanes there.

Looking at this galaxy on the web the dust lane is brown with new RGB data I might be able to capture it.
