NGC4216 Galaxy & Friends

[EzyStyles]

Hi Guys,

A few galaxies in 1 frame. My main focus was on NGC4216 as I thought it was a decent size galaxy for my scope. Turns out to be rather small. I guess i need to image through a SCT to get that in your face view.

8 x 7 Minutes Exposure at ISO 400.

The in the face view is great, but so is the widefield view. Not everything has to be right out there and you have beautifully captured the 3 galaxies, something you just dont get using a SCT.

Sure is a little one, but how dare you mention the "S..C..T" word.. ;) Imaging through a newt is the way to go.. you just need a bigger newt ;)

[EzyStyles]

LOL thanks guys. I still sometimes like the in your face view showing all the pretty dust lanes, nebs etc.
I know you want a SCT mike ;) c'mon perfectt for the planets too and whats your important, food for the kids or a SCT? :)

Sorry, I'd never get an SCT :) Newts4life! :lol:

Yeah newts rule!! :lol:
The best planetary scopes are newts I reckon.....:thumbsup:

A nice wider field of these galaxies Eric!
I can see quiet a few fainter ones as well in the background...:thumbsup:
cheers Gary

I wonder whats sillier, using a barlow in a newt or focal reducers in SCT's :lol:

P.S. Gooooo galaxy clusters! :clap:
