NGC1532 - a work in progress. Image added msg #6

[allan gould]

Ive managed to dodge a few clouds and get some frames of NGC1532, a galaxy that has intrigued me for a while. 10x15 min L with QSI583wsg.
It obviously needs more time and colour but pleased with this so far.
Comments welcomed.

I am sure it's great but where is it?

Another one of those galaxies with invisible arms, Allan? :D

Emperor's new clothes indeed :whistle:......

I particularly like your processing of the more subtle hues of blue. Well done. More, please!! ;)

Stupid me. Ive posted the one with almost invisible arms, faint galaxy core and very faint companion galaxy.......
This is a Sidonio with a bit more background contrast for those with myopic eyesight and poorly adjusted screens. Just get with the program guys and dont be so picky.

Only for those without the faith

No - ALT AZ eimers

I can rely on you Peter for a critical appraisal and a more gentle Zen-like approach.

Looks like a great target, Allan, and a good start. This one has been on my list for a while, but it is a very long list!

[strongmanmike]

Ahhh now I see'em :eyepop:

Nice start on this interesting galaxy Allan :thumbsup:

Strangely I haven't felt compelled to image this one, not sure why :question: :screwy:

Looking good Allan. The luminance is shaping up nicely. Will be great to see the completed mission with colour added.

[allan gould]

You have been so productive lately Rick Im sure you wil get around to it.

There is enough faint stuff as well as dust detail to tempt you, Mike. Give it a go.


Thanks Jase, but I need to double or triple the luminance and then get some colour (probably an hour for each filter).
