Seyferts Sextet (Did i waste my time)

[astro mick]

Hi.

I took this image last night with my ED 120 and Atik 414.

It is known as Seyferts Sextet in Serpens, they are known as NGC 6027/A/B/C/D/E.

They range in magnitude between 14.6-16.7

Indeed if you could see these through an eypiece you would proberbly only see a faint blur,as they would appear super imposed.

Their distance is approx 190 million Lt/Yrs.

6x600 secs for each LRGB image.

Calibrated with flats and darks. 

Not spectacular by any stretch of the imagination,but a little different.

Cheers.

Mick.

Good for you. Going for the big show stoppers is not the only thing we should be doing. You have an excellent observation here.
