IC 2233 and The Bear's paw galaxy in Lynx

[orionoffelt]

After some modifications to my set up I decided to test the gear out by imaging IC 2233 which is a edge on spiral galaxy one of the flattest known. So after a while I slewed to the star Castor to re focus  then slewed back while centering the target I noticed an artifact on the right of the image but checking up it was a small irregular dwarf Galaxy NGC 2537 ( Arp 6 )  so I set the frame up to include them both in the FOV this is a LRGB image.

Imaged over two nights 06/08-01-2021

Luminance of 7 x 600 un binned and 8 x 300 binned 2 x 2

RGB of 8 x 300 each binned 2 x 2

scope Celestron 11" at F 6.3

camera QHY9m

Nice capture Bob, well done for reframing at the last minute - well worth getting both those objects in.  Had me off to look into Arp 6 some more too 👍

It certainly surprised me Lee to see Arp 6 in the frame as I thought there was not much to see in that area.
