Nice pairing there Martin, the widefield makes you appreciate the cosmic scale too :)

[RickS]

Nice work on a pair of small and uncommonly imaged galaxies, Martin! Looks like you're having a very productive retirement.

[Placidus]

Exquisite. Beautiful colour balance, contrast, detail.

Our beast gives almost the same FOV, so next year we'll be very motivated to have a go.

Lovely work Martin. Nice colour and detail. :) For some reason the image is still only opening to 1243 x 885 pixel. It must be something to do with my browser.

Thanks Paul.

When you click on the image on the webpage, it opens a larger version of the image. If you 'right click' then save it to your desktop, you will find the pixel dimensions are 2500 x 1781 - the max allowed by a Squarespace website.

[Paul Haese]

Hmm nope, it saves as 1500 x 1068

Nicely done as usual Martin. Really vibrant colour and detail. Getting in early for next year I guess.

Nice work Martin - as always! :thumbsup:

How was the seeing during acquisition?

[Martin Pugh]

Thanks Marcus.

Best frames were 1.9 asp, I threw a heap away that came in at or over 2.6, and the majority of the frames were 2.1 - 2.3.

Cheers
