NGC 5044 Galaxy Group

[codemonkey]

Back doing some galaxies again! Didn't realise how much I missed it. Scraped a few hours (just shy of 12) on this cute little group over the past week, mostly L with a 8x300 RGB. Lovely little group in Virgo that doesn't seem to get photographed too often.

Big one here (https://www.astrobin.com/full/kdxvpo/)

So much to take in there Lee. Nice view and well processed as usual.

[ChrisV]

What a lovely field. Great resolution and colour

[Camelopardalis]

Another cracker, Lee - well done :thumbsup:

[Atmos]

Really nice view there Lee. You do have me wanting to get into shooting galaxies more.

[gregbradley]

A fantastic galaxy grouping Lee. Nicely done

Greg.

Wow never get tired of discovering stuff from others. Virgo may be next on my list

[Bart]

That is an awesome shot. Love how they are just all there together.

[Placidus]

Really well done. Apart from the obvious big ones, there's a plethora of distant galaxies far, far away.

[codemonkey]

Thanks very much everyone, glad you like it :D



Yeah, I love imaging galaxies. Maybe if I were better at it I'd like shooting nebulae as much lol. Been doing a lot of nebulae lately but I've really enjoyed my last couple of galaxies.

That is a lovely shot of Markarian's chain. Galaxies are my favorite, because they make you realize just how big the Universe is.

Cheers
Peter

Lovely!
Well done Lee!

Thanks very much Peter, glad you like it :) This isn't Markarian's chain though, that's about 13 degrees further north and 1.5hrs off in RA.



Thanks Tim!

Thanks Andy! :D

[RobC]

Well done Lee..

[Paul Haese]

[codemonkey]

Thanks very much Rob and Paul :-)

Excellent Lee! Beautiful detail, colour and composition.

[codemonkey]

Thanks Marc! :-)

[multiweb]

Really nice galaxy field Lee. Well done. :thumbsup:
When do you sleep?

[Slawomir]

Wow, I now realise how much I have been missing astro. Really stunning image Lee. One day I will certainly move up to galaxy imaging. Narrowband nebulae will have to do for now.

[codemonkey]

lol. While my gear is doing unattended sequences of course :D



Thanks Suavi :-) You should have the skies for galaxies now so now you've got no excuse!

Galaxies are generally speaking pretty easy targets... you've always been exceptional with narrowband nebulae, something I find much more challenging.

[strongmanmike]

Awesome!
