NGC - a 'Train Wreck' galaxy


Recommended Posts

Despite the generally poor weather this Spring, another clear night was forecast for 9th April, so I tackled the unusual and seldom imaged mag 9.9 lenticular galaxy NGC 4753 in Virgo.  This recently was featured as a Gemini South telescope image, described as a 'Train Wreck' galaxy!  With my modest equipment and less than pristine skies, I did not expect too much, but managed to bring up the unusual dust lanes, so reasonably pleased with the image.  QSI 683 on RC10 with SX AO unit.  Luminance 15 x 10 minutes, RGB each 5 x 10 minutes all binned 2x2.

Cheers, Peter
