Greg that is a huge field you have and there would do justice to some fine off the beaten track southern galaxy groups that often get overlooked. Roberts Quartet being a good example. I can post some more if you like. In fact with about 1500 galaxies in my supernova list I am often really surprised how lovely some of these far Southern galaxies are but not many have been tackled by amateurs in the way you presented NGC908.
From New Scientist and so obvious in your image "The spiral arm on the left side of galaxy NGC 908 has been bent upwards by a near-collision with a passing galaxy (Image: H Boffin/VLT/ESO)" http://www.newscientist.com/articlei...eighbours.html |
I would love your supernova list to check out targets that could be imaged. I see unusual northern galaxies being imaged all the time by Adam Block. I am sure we have just as many as I was under the impression that galaxies are evenly distributed throughout the Universe.
What is Roberts Quartet?
Greg.
