Lovely image, I like the small galaxy that looks like it is overlapping IC4721 (but must be in the background) and what a bonus capture of the supernova too, nice work

yeh, was chuffed when I realised there was a recent supernova in there. My understanding is that this pair of overlapping galaxies was one of many used to determine the distribution of gas and dust in typical galaxies.
1 minute subs are a bit taxing, but have advantages..

This is perhaps the first image I've seen where some convincingly fine work is done using one of these CMOS chips in short time.
What caused you to look for the snr?

Thanks M&T. This camera is sky-limited at about 45 seconds on my system, so short subs are the best way to go with broadband.
I only reaslised that the snr was there when I was looking for information on the galaxy pair.

The detail in the main galaxies is very pleasing indeed  |
hi Colin. thanks for the comments - background galaxies are always nice to see.
