Ngc1300

This is an image of NGC1300 located in Eridanus at about 61 million light years distance.

It is a barred face on spiral with distinctive areas of star forming regions. Off to the right is NGC1297 which is a barred lenticular spiral galaxy. Differing morphologies and each rather interesting to examine. There is also a plethora of smaller galaxies in the back ground with varying shapes.

That's beautiful Paul. Inky black background and the colors really pop.

Hi Paul,
what a great picture of some dim galaxies.
It compares well with Mike's pic:

That's a great galaxy image Paul. Our Milky Way must resemble this galaxy quite a bit I think.

Greg.

Jaw-droppingly beautiful, superbly acquired and processed.

The background galaxies are a bonus delight. Not just there, but clear and clean and detailed.

Very best,

Well done, Paul! Lots of faint halo showing and nice colouring. Surface brightness looks quite low, so a tricky target...

Thanks Allan, yes this is nice to see how the GSO optics compare with other quality optics.

Thanks Greg, I too had thought that this might be how our galaxy looks from a distance, albeit with a few more spiral arms or sub arms.

Thanks MnT, those little galaxies are fantastic. The one about 7-8 o'clock really shows the spiral well.

Thanks Rick, yes it is a little dimmer than some of galaxies I have imaged, I had to stretch it carefully so as not to show too much noise.

A pretty gem for sure... expertly captured and not over-processed.

Nice one

Hi Paul,
you've done well with GSO - I had a crook mirror from them once
and I sent it back & got an ONTC mirror instead from TS.
It works well - I just wish I had clear skies & time to use it.

cheers
Allan

Nice detail and colour Paul.

Plenty of faint fuzzies and good star shapes.

You would be pleased with that effort.

Dave

Beautiful shot Paul. This isn't a particularly easy galaxy and you've done a great job on it.

Cheers

Lovely detail in the main galaxy but there is a fascinating little spiral galaxy just to the NW of a bright red star in the bottom left corner. Need a Hubble Zoom for it

It must have been a rarely mirror. In all the time I have been using their scopes I have never struck a bad set. I suppose it is bound to happen but generally Jim is very particular about mirror quality. It is some of the structural stuff that needs looking at most of the time.

Colin, that one attracted my eye too. Classical spiral that one. My longer focal length is definitely needed.
