Ngc 1532

[Stevec35]

This one was a bit of a battle because of telescope/mount problems and generally poor conditions. It's a very unusual galaxy in Eridanus that doesn't get imaged that often. Perhaps it's overlooked because it's not that far from NGC 1365. The interacting galaxy to the lower right is NGC 1531.

Cheers

Very clear detail in the inner regions Steve and good colour. I get the impression that there may be more detail lurking in the outer regions that could be brought out with a bit of a background stretch.

Yes nice one Steve and probably agree with Geoff too :)

Depending on the monitor I'm using, the background shadow detail looks obvious, but it is somewhat less so on my UHD screen.

This is one crying out for more data (for some "Silky-Pugh-like" smoothness), but looks very tidy at this point.

Nice one :thumbsup:

Yes, very nice Steve!

[Placidus]

Superb!

That's a great image. The way NGC1532 seems to be unravelling the little one with the streams you have shown is really very cool.

Top job.

Thanks very much for the comments guys. I've since uploaded a new version which I think is an improvement. Some people thought the background was a bit dark and that was certainly a valid criticism. And yes, more data is an option.

Cheers

mmm, sweet indeed, top capture Steve. The dark background suits. What the hell else would it be :P.

[atalas]

Its an awesome galaxy and you've done a beautiful job Steve!

[Stevec35]

Thanks Louie



Thanks Fred. I did adjust the background a bit and I think it benefited.

WOW, what a beautiful galaxy Steve, Nice detail and colour. Great capture mate.

Cracking image Steve!:thumbsup:

Really like the colour balance, and of course the detail you get from your rig!

Must try NGC 1532, more for curiosity.
Don't expect detail like this.

Cheers,

Justin.

Thanks Justin. Judging by your regular work I'm sure you'll produce something attractive though.



Thanks Rex
