NGC 4236 - faint galaxy in Draco

[tooth_dr]

I tried 300s exposures, but I couldn't see it, so I upped it to 600s.  I got a few exposure on this, I think about 35 x 600s. And it's still faint!  Taken with ED80 FF and Canon 40d.  Slight high mist and LP creeping in at 10 mins unfiltered.

Thank-you @Ben the Ignorant for suggesting a new and interesting target.

 

I wonder whats the small round galaxy at the bottom of the image?

 

Thanks!

I didn't know about that one, but there is a small group of three smaller and fainter galaxies at the top left, quite hard to see, they show up better if you click twice on the pic. A much nicer extra is the one at center left, it is much brighter than those three smudges, and looks precisely like a TIE fighter heading for us! I hope he's not shooting!

If this had no nickname, maybe I'll get to be the one who named it the TIE Fighter galaxy!

Great image of an interesting and rarely imaged target!

I took the liberty of doing some High Pass filtering of your image to bring out the galaxies a bit more, and then try to identify them using Astrometry.net. Unfortunately it only identified one galaxy in addition to the NGC4236, and it is the one just left of the centre. It is NGC4250. I think the one at the bottom looks like a spiral galaxy (see the zoomed in image). I expect that someone can identify it.

Cheers

V nice, too faint for me!

Thanks Goran. It looks like NGC 7490, Paul above helped identify it!

I've found plenty more in there, quite amazing! Faintest is mag 17.1 that I've identified.
