orionoffelt Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 This is a peculiar dwarf galaxy one of the companion galaxies of M101 the Pinwheel galaxy has strongly distorted the disc of this galaxy. Imaged over two nights 26-03-20 / 11-04-20 both nights were poor as there was high cloud around. Luminance of 21 x 300 RGB of 6 x 300 each all binned 2 x 2 scope Celestron 11" camera QHY9m Bob 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeklee Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 This one cropped up in the corner of some M101 subs I was testing recently and I was curious about it, but forgot to go look it up. Thanks for this. Some stacked L on a 510mm refractor - obviously small & minimal detail in comparison to the Celestron 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Star101 Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Nice capture. I know what you mean about high cloud. Just makes the image hazy when I get it here. And a devil to process out. I do like off the beaten track, not often seen, galaxy's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkAR Posted April 13, 2020 Share Posted April 13, 2020 Great image, nice to see some of the lesser know targets getting some attention. Did some sky scanning on Stellarium and came up with a few possible targets my 115 EDT might be able to get. Whale and Crowbar would make a good double.

orionoffelt Posted April 14, 2020 Author Share Posted April 14, 2020 Thanks for the feedback it is an interesting target I try and find targets which have not been imaged much especially at this FL. Bob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
