Palomars 7,11+12

SPX350 F4.5, ATK-16HR, Baader RGB filters.

After last years Palomars thought I would continue with these three bright members. All 10-11th mag. Palomar 7 after strong stretching developed a huge size and is also catalogued as IC1276 in Serpents near Scutum. Palomar 11 in Aquila near star Kappa. Finally Palomar 12 in Capricorn near star Kappa which was thought to have been captured from the Sag Dwarf Galaxy 1.7bn yrs ago.

These Palomars are fascinating discoveries from the late 1950's and will probably do some more next year.

P7-lrgb, 6x5min each channel.
P11-r rgb.
P12-rgb, P11+12 - 8x3 min subs each channel.

Thanks, John.
