A few galaxies from Sunday night

[rich_t]

You never know when the next clear night's going to be, so thought I'd grab a few just in case!

Box, Whale and Sunflower galaxies (no obvious connection!) taken with the LX90/EQ6 & MX716 camera.

Cheers,

Rich.

Gorgeous set of pics, really great detail in the dust and plenty of glow factor too!

Thanks for sharing.

Three superb images Rich, lovely detail and colour in each of them, particurlarly like the structure evident in M63, splendid imaging. Any idea of the exposure details.

That is what I call a very profitable nights work. Those are splendid, all three of them. It just great to see the weather has relented somewhat, and Images are starting to come in a bit more now.

Excellent trio of galaxies, a nice piece of work there! The Whale especially. The first one (Caldwell 21 = NGC 4449 - I had to look it up) is a new one to me, I doubt if it's been imaged or posted on the forum before. Thanks for that, I like these other-than-mainstream targets...

[rich_t]

Thanks for all your comments. Thought I'd try out some of Patrick Moore's favourites from the Caldwell list!

Exposures at f6.3 were:

ngc4449 (L 45min; R,G&B 8min binned)

ngc4631 (L 42min; R,G&B 6min binned)

m63 (l 42min, no colour , ran out of time!)
