ESO 387-87G (Ugly Image)

[sjastro]

A dwarf galaxy in the neighbouring NGC 5128 group. This one is a difficult target mostly due to a field star that flooded the field.

Not a pretty object by any stretch of the imagination but at least it's in mostly unchartered territory as an imaging target.

This is a 90% cropped image.

I dont think theres anything wrong with it ,Stop pulling yourself down about it being an ugly image ,If it was that ugly you would`nt of put it on here.......I Like them all.

Not bad....Cheers Kev.

Thanks Kevin.

What I mean't to convey is that it is the sort of object that wouldn't be in anyone's top 100 list in terms of beauty. I wouldn't post it if I wasn't satisfied with the image.

I find these type of objects far more interesting to image than the usual stuff.

And I find viewing images of these more obscure objects far more interesting than seeing the usual M8, M20, M42 for the 50th time :D

Thanks for sharing.

For an ugly image, that is quite beautiful! If that is ugly, in comparison then, my DSO’s must look dreadfully horrific LOL!

I like seeing the obscure stuff! This little fellow has a certain charm :) Nice job Steven :thumbsup:

The dark halos around the stars detract a bit though.

Thanks for the comments.

Sorry for the typo but the correct designation is ESO 383-G87.

Agree Steven, not the best looking image of this target, but having said that there isn't too many around to compare. Certainly is obscure and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Quite a fascinating little galaxy Steven and definitely one I haven't seen before.

Thanks for the posting.
