Still a work in progress, but quite nice. I did minimal processing--no deconvolution, no noise reduction. These will have to wait for more data.
Telescope: 12.5" Plane Wave CDK
Camera: QSI540wsg
Mount: AP 900
Exposure: 30 minutes each of L, R, G, B

Great stuff, Geoff!

Awesome, thats the two under M104 is that right, Rippers !
Theyre actually in Mikes Image - tiny critters, Top resolution there ! !

[strongmanmike]

Errr no Bob, these two are some 20deg away from M104...and I am not sure what two galaxies you are seeing in my image :shrug:

[astronobob]

Right you are Mike, these two arnt the ones in your M104 image - my bad..

:thumbsup:

[Shiraz]

very nice image Geoff - be interesting to see it with more data too.

Tough imaging target, these are quite small and dim but they are shaping up well in your image. Enough imaging time and some discreet decon (Mike will never know!) and it could come up shining.

Greg.

Thanks Greg. I won't mention the decon when I do the next version.

Definitely looking good Geoff! Will be an absolute ripper with more data.
