What a stunning object.
Digging the faint background fuzzies, too.

Thnaks H, yes seeing background galaxies always makes an image I recon

Yeah..? Cool

Wonder what would happen if they imaged the Rosette

Hi Rob, yes very happy so far and I am looking forward to every clear night now, even if windy

Cheers Chris and yes it isn't imaged much at all, surprising really.

At the fast light gathering focal ratio you are operating at, is there a reason why you didn't pick up the 'bridge' between NGC6769 and NGC6771? Actually there is an even fainter arc reaching back around to NGC6770 too but suspect that would be more of a challenge requiring uber data, and finally darks and flats . Its present in the AAO plate if you want to take a squiz. Good to see something new. A breeze of fresh air. Well done. |
Thanks Jase
Regarding the faint arcs and bridges,
I can see the bridge between NGC 6769 and 6771 in the colour shot
(actually it connects all 3 galaxies) but the much fainter and longer arc between NGC 6771 and NGC 6770 requires some
stretching and contrast enhancement
