I thought is may be a nebula, but nothing in my program.
I am sure it is not camera noise as such a large red area hasn't shown up before with the Astro 40D.
Any sensible thoughts welcome.  |
Lester, you could try NED or SEDS to get the true mag of the galaxy
PGC3097159.
Even the largest of telescopes have trouble getting down to mag 30, so I think "THE SKY" Six is in error.
I think you should not have too much trouble getting down to mag 20 or so in your scope with long exposures.
Cheers
