Ngc 1904

[Tom Davis]

I targeted NGC 1904 just to see if there was any dust in the area that
I could pick up with my little system. According to SIMBAD there was a
cloud Gal 228.0-28.6 relatively nearby but I could not find any images
of it to see how large and what it looked like. I imaged from
Australia, through high think clouds, and I was able to show this
galactic cloud and it's relative position to NGC 1904. The high, thin
clouds made all the brighter stars have halos -- I decided not to try
to clean them all up.

It is not the most exciting image but I am pretty pleased to pick up
such a faint galactic cloud.

Please ignore the haloed stars.

Top shot Tom. Colours are superb. There are also a lot of faint fuzzies in the background even visible through the dust cloud. :thumbsup:

That is one very nice looking image Tom. I've come back and had a look at it a few times now! Very sharp stars with fantastic colours. :thumbsup:

Lovely image Tom. I would love to see it framed diferently to show up a bit more of the dust.

A glob, a galaxy and gas. Well done.
