You have picked up a lot of the IFN though, nicely done  |
Thanks Colin

Thanks Rick. Not ugly perhaps but some galaxies look more interesting. I think the IFN makes up for any problem though.
Here's a wide field with a FSQ106 that I discovered today:

The galaxy itself is fascinating. It looks like a Magellanic or irregular dwarf galaxy, with clumpy blue star-forming regions, buried inside a near-featureless elliptical. I expect that's a rubbish explanation, because the scale would be all wrong. It would have to be a very small elliptical or a very big dwarf! Would love to know what's really happening.
No field rotation at only 10 degrees from the pole. Nice colours too.
Best,

Thanks M&T. As usual with some of my objects it's hard to find much about them. This link does say a bit:

My UK colleague who suggested I image this wants me to take some Ha but I can't see that showing much.
