Few galaxies and groups

[drjolo]

This is set of this year spring galaxy hunts I made. All images were shot at my roll-off shed with Meade ACF 10" telescope and QHY163M camera on EQ6 mount. Conditions were different, but usually both transparency and seeing were average-good. I am pretty happy with this setup capabilities under my suburban sky, one thing I miss is more clear nights  

Abell 1185 cluster with "Guitar" feature. 120x1 minute, gain=100

Messier 82 galaxy. 40x2 minutes, gain=0

NGC4535 galaxy. 45x3 minutes, gain=0

NGC3628 galaxy. 55x2 minutes, gain=0

NGC4762 and 4754 lenticular galaxies. 95x1 minute, gain=100

Hickson 68 group. 140x1 minute, gain=100

Thanks for watching!

A very nice collection. Will you be adding colour next season?

[drjolo]

Thanks! Yes, I plan to add colour to at least some of them. And also more luminance to Abell 1185

First class images, all of them.?

[drjolo]

Four years later I picked Abell 1185 cluster to process it one more time - data as before 120x1 minute of luminance with Meade ACF 10" telescope and QHY163M camera.

Excellent work. Puts into perspective just what lies outside our atmosphere.
