Spongey Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 An enjoyable galaxy season target despite my limited focal length! I was impressed at the detail resolved in the galaxy at this pixel scale, with star forming regions and clusters clearly visible. This wide field image allows for a wealth of background galaxies to be detected, most of which are hundreds of millions of light years away. I'd highly recommend panning around the image at 100% zoom! The farthest object I found in this image was a quasar with redshift 3.815, meaning this light was emitted approximately 12 billion years ago, and that this quasar is now over 23.4 billion light years away! Full details on astrobin. Cheers 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pld Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 Terrific image, such a lot of detail. I like the star colours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollypenrice Posted May 1 Share Posted May 1 Ooh yes! But this really does need all the clicks to bring it up to full size where it really shines. In case people won't do that, I might be inclined to post a crop to show off your excellent resolution of detail and the nice Ha jet.
