NGC 5965 and friends

[deeplook]

Hi!

As my first image posted here, i want to show you a picture of NGC 5965 in constellation Draco.
It is a big spiral galaxy, which we see nearly from the edge. NGC 5963 in the neighborhood is about 4-5 times nearer than NGC 5965, so it has to be a much smaller galaxy.

NGC 5971 on the left side shows some signs of interaction with another galaxy.

The image was taken at the Gahberg observatory, Upper Austria, with a 10" f/4 Newtonian for Luminance and a 5" f/5 Newtonian for RGB at the same time.

Great work Markus, thanks for sharing!

Quite a pleasant shot Markus, a lot of faint fuzzies in the background too :)

Wonderful image Markus. This is one that really has to be looked at in full resolution to appreciate just how good it is. Well done.

Great image, Markus. NGC 5971 is especially interesting.

Cheers,
Rick.

What a beautiful image Markus..:thumbsup:

An extraordinarily beautiful image.

Lovely galaxy group image Markus :thumbsup:

I love the proper motion animation you created - check this out (http://www.deeplook.astronomie.at/index_htm_files/M100_Animation.gif) everyone :thumbsup:

aaand...it would seem we have something in common :D...we have both been involved with the discovery of little faint galaxies ;)

That's fantastic!

Hello Lee, Colin, Geoff, Rick, Peter, Mike and Michael!

Wow, so much response, thank you very much!

Rick, NGC 5971 should be an ideal object for long focal lenght!

Michael, the proper motion animation is based on thinking about "what should we do with our old images?" :-)
We have a project here in Europe called "TBG" which means something like "long exposed galaxies" (http://tbg.vdsastro.de/?page_id=34). Of course I noticed the NGC 253 image... :-) great work!

Best regards, Markus

Thanks a lot for looking!
Great to see that you like the animations...

Peter, we already wrote e-mail about NGC 1532!

Spectacular image, those colours are outstanding! Really good control of the background detail too.

Thats an outstanding image Marcus. Love the detail, smoothness and colours.
love the animation too.
I'm looking at tandem imaging as well. nice work.

Cheers

Helo Chris, Alistair, Paul and Rod!

I've been a bit buisy these days...
Thank you a lot for your nice answers!

Really really nice image Markus, thank you for sharing :thumbsup:

[plantnerd]

Bloody excellent work mate I hope my 10" F4 can do something half that good. The image with the quazars and other galaxies marked is facinating.

[deeplook]

Thank you very much, Suavi and Luis!



I'm sure it can!

Hello Markus,

What an amazing galaxy photo!

So sharp and detailed with beautiful colours.

So many different objects...I love the composition.

Hope to see more photos from you.

Ross.

Sensational image Markus. The galaxies take on a 3D appearance.
