NGC891 In Andromeda

[Rob_Jn]

Here's NGC891 in Andromeda taken last night. 160min with Atik 383L+ binned 2x2. I'd like to add colour but the way the weather is I don't think I'll get the chance

Thanks,

Rob

Ok, I think that's a nice image of a galaxy but if I'm perfectly honest, this is a far more impressive picture....

A guided 14" Newtonian? Wowsers.

edit: Do you have to stand on the roof to use that finderscope, or what?

[Rob_Jn]

Yes to be honest it's a bit of a beast to get to guide but when it all works well it works great.

Your'e right about the finder, it's almost impossible to reach up there, thank god for goto! I've made some changes since the photo, put a WO72 as the guidescope, new dec drive, motorised focusser and given it a new paint job which it badly needed - it's 28 years old. Must update the photo....

Thanks for the comments,

Rob.
