Ok...second image this year..during my IIS wilderness banishing
...of what I have always reckoned is a lovely colourful and quaint spiral galaxy, showing plenty of star forming, in southern Virgo, NGC 5068
There is also some reeeeeeeally faint galactic cirrus in the field that I wanted to include too, so I framed the scene accordingly
Please adjust your screen using
this guideline for brightness, so you can enjoy seeing the faint dust in the image
I wanted to keep it looking real and in balance, brightness wise, it
is very faint after all, so should look as such.
NGC 5068 click on image and pan around with your cursor.
Funnily enough....apparently there is a
veeeeeeery faint tidal stream emanating from NGC 5068 that CHART32 seems to have picked up
(scroll down)...but even after nearly 10hrs of Luminance, gathered through my 12" F3.8, it has not show up...?
so that is interesting...reminds me of my
NGC 1232 effort a few years back...ie. stream still not confirmed
Anyway, hope you enjoy
Mike
