Galaxy NGC7606

Galaxy NGC7606. I started gathering data for this galaxy on September 7. It takes quite a lot of time to get an acceptable image at F10, but the reach 2000mm has for these little galaxies is worth it.

From Wiki "NGC 7606 is a spiral galaxy located in the constellation Aquarius. It is located at a distance of circa 100 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 7606 is about 165,000 light years across. It was discovered by William Herschel οn September 28, 1785... It can be seen with a 4 inch telescope but its visibility is greatly affected by light pollution."

Surface brightness of this galaxy is low, but has nice structure.

Deforked Meade LX90 ACF 8" F10 SCT on an HEQ5 Pro, ZWO ASI 183mm Pro at -10C, 520 minutes luminance, 270 minutes RGB with an Svbony LRGB filter set.

Good one Kevin. Another obscure galaxy. Quite a pretty one. Very nicely handled and one of the finest SCT images I have seen.

Greg.

Thanks Greg. Yes not a lot of images of this around. There should be more as it has nice dust lanes.
