Hi,

NGC 5078 and 5101 in Hydra are mag 12.0 and 11.4. They are quite small in the full frame so I've supplied a cropped image too.

Quite an interesting field of galaxies, plenty more to be seen in the full frame.
This would be a stunning field for Mikes AG12 and David's Bunyip.

My gear doesn't really do these galaxies justice.

Equipment.

8" Newtonian astrograph f/4. on Heq pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader coma corrector, cooler box.

19 x 8 minute subs, darks and flat frames applied.

Median stack in DSS, processed in PS7.

Cheers,

Justin.
