NGC5005, NGC5033, IC4182 and others

[Beyond_Vision]

I was going to go for Markarians Chain of Galaxies but decided to have a stab at something I haven't seen before. I fired up Starry Night Pro Plus 6 and had a scan around the area of Virgo and Coma Berinices and then spotted an unusual grouping of Galaxies near Canes Vanatici. The most unusal galaxy one was on the right of the image. It's an irregular galaxy called IC4182

Here's a link to a NOAO image taken at the Kitt Peak 2.1m telescope for reference

Yes there should be plenty of opportunities to bag several galaxies in the same frame in and around this part of the sky

Thanks for the nice comments all

What a great region, and nicely captured and processed.

Kevin, I know Pixinsight is good, but these type of images are really helped in contrast and smoothness with proper flats and bias frames I find. Have you tried them with the qhy8 yet?

Awesome image Kevin and a very interesting part of the sky. I especially like IC4182, being irregular like that it must be tough trying to get any detail out of it.

Very fine collection of galaxies you have there Kevin - and I'm carefully saying 'galaxies' not 'fuzzies'! You have a real amount of structure showing there especially in 5033!

The faint one to the left which you've labelled "????" - well, CdC plus the PGC add-on came up with the goods, it's UGC 8314 aka PGC 46009, if you fancy filling in the gap...

Thanks for that Pete I will add the ID
