Excellent shot of NGC5084 and those background galaxies Mike. I think I will have to add that to my bucket list, although, with so many galaxies out there the list is pretty long already.

Cheers Pete and Rod it is the peppered background that makes a galaxy image huh? especially if lucky enough to get good seeing so the tiny smudges can be seen better...imagine if the main target just sat on flat black
Well there ya go, detective Al...no discovery...DOH!

Hi Mike,
wouldn't it be more interesting if every picture here got a once over
to determine exactly what was in it and how far away it was -
at least in so far as it's possible to know?
The amateur astronomers here often pick up faint galaxies for which there are
no names or other information anywhere to be found.
In this case I got lucky.

I must say you have been very productive with your time you have grabbed a lot of cool images. Very pleasing to the eye.
Thanks Houghy ...actually... with the fires and smoke, travelling on holidays and Covid19, it is now nearing the end of May and I have only completed three images in the last 6 months
That is a nice image of this galaxy. I have never seen a shot of it until now. I don't think I have ever seen it visually either. It is certainly now on my list of targets for AG12 rigs. I am busy myself with a couple of very large multi year projects so any chance of capturing this year will not be possible. Possibly the year after might work. I take it you rotated this image to portrait to make the galaxy look level?

Thanks Paul, well I guess technically then, it is probably "the best" image of this galaxy...because, there are really no others and by that analysis, it must also be the best image you have ever seen of it too..given you have never seen it before
Yes, this is the full frame rotated 90 deg.
