Looks good to me Rog, just shows you were born for this imaging lark too

Crappy? CRAPPY?

Wash your mouth out!

Its great.

BTW do you know of a website or some program that lists just how big these things are in arc seconds or something? I found the SEDS Messier guide has this detail, only with my new goto mount I can tell it to go there but I have no idea how big to expect the target to be as yet. OK with the Messy things, just not the NGC stuff. Starry Night Pro got REALLY well joomed in with nothing to see yet, butt that could just be my settings.

CC: The SEDS site should have info on all the other NGC stuff, too. You could also try www.ngcic.org. This is run by a few guys I know around here. They're trying to "correct" all the errors in the NGC/IC. Oodles of great info!

It's a good link that Astroman i have that in my Favs already and use it quite often too...

Try this CC

It gives you an idea of what you can see with different cameras at different focal lengths. Not exactly what you were looking for but good for comparative purposes.

They dun't know they're born.
