NGC1532 through M&T's finderscope...

To be honest I wasn't even going to try with my little setup, but curiosity killed the cat and satisfaction brought him back. ;-) It's absolutely nowhere near M&T's awesome image http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d.php?t=150977 but I am really thrilled to pick up some of the tidal force interaction between NGC1532 and NGC1531. I didn't think I had a hope, but you don't know until you try. Stayed up all night with match sticks under my eyelids to capture just over 5 hours worth of data.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, 419 x 45 seconds on a HEQ5 Pro unguided, Pentax K-5.
