m31 m33 Wide Field

[jjjnettie]

Nothing flash, but it's a work in progress. Hoping to add a couple more hours data to this over the weekend.
M31 and M33.
26x2min subs (a total of 52 minutes exposure time), iso800, f4.
Canon 20d
Canon 50mm lens
Eq5 mount

Excellent WF shot....not often you get to see both galaxies in one shot!!:D:D

Tricky getting those in the same field of view. Great stuff. :thumbsup:

Nicely done Jeanette. I bet I know what you are going to be shooting on the weekend. ;)

*cough* ic434 *cough*

thats another good image JJJ, and not something thats rarely framed as nicely as this. i am guessing the glow on the bottom left is civilisation?

you gonna add more to this?

[Bloodbean]

Ohh very nice framing! Well done :)

Yes, more data on the way.
The gradient is from Caboolture.
I only used curves and levels on it so far.
Not enough data to push it further.
The image lost a fair bit of resolution when it was compressed. But you get that.

very nice Jeanette. l do like a good widefield.

[AlexN]

Top stuff JJJ.. I too will attack these targets from barambah... Although, clearly not at both at the same time... :D

[jjjnettie]

It's next on the list Duncan. :D
Been looking forward to this for months.

I like it, and first time I have seen both galaxies in the same FOV. Nice colour too.

All the best for more.

[glenc]

That is a great image Jeanette, nice to see four M galaxies in the same field. :thumbsup:

[jjjnettie]

Thanks everyone.

Nicely done...very jealous as it's clouded out here as new moon approaches :)

[spacezebra]

Good stuff JJJ

Excellent!

Cheers Petra d.

[multiweb]

Wow! M31? :eyepop: That's extreme widefield. Shaving the horizon. :lol: You're game. Nicely done :thumbsup:

[batema]

Even without more data JJJ I think that shot is pretty flash. Looks good and will only gey better. Well done.

Very unique JJJ. Never seen them together before. Now I know their relative sizes. Well done.:thumbsup:

[h0ughy]

well done JJJ

It's also interesting to know that the separation between the two, as you see there, is actually about 750kly in physical distance.

[jjjnettie]

Amazing, I'll have to write a little blurb at the bottom of the image so I won't forget.

M33 is probably a part of the M31 subgroup...i.e. it orbits M31. Although it has a couple of satellites of it's own, notably LGS3 and around 30-50 globs.

Jeanette,

:), :eyepop:. nice pic.

:thanx:,

Jeanette,

Sorry I missed this one -- catching up on old threads.

Fantastic image. I, too, haven't seen both in the same field of view before. Gives me ideas to try something similar.

It's also great to know that both galaxies are somewhat equidistant from the bright star in the middle. Will make finding them a touch easier.

Thanks!
