More faint fuzzies in Phoenix

[Stevec35 (Steve)]

I'll probably revisit this one with more data when the moon goes away again. Seeing conditions weren't great and the scope kept malfunctioning so I had to nurse it the whole time. Anyway, the group of four galaxies at the top left is known as Robert's quartet. They are all pretty faint with the brightest one (NGC 92) being only magnitude 14.3. The other galaxy at the lower right (ESO 194-13) is about magnitude 13.9.

Regardless of the quality of the image it's a nice little field that many people would never have heard of.

Cheers

Steve

Another very cool little galaxy group, Steve Looks like there might be some interesting faint stuff around NGC92?

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

We both really like it. A lovely field, lots going on with complex tidal interactions and mutual mangling.

Thanks M&T. It's one you guys could profitably look at I think.

Thanks Rick. There certainly seems to be a bit of interacting going on.

Thanks Mike. Would be interesting to see what you would make of this area but you would probably need a bit more focal length.

that is very cool Steve, interesting field! nice job.

yer recon...?

Presents a lovely field with lots of interest Steve. A multitude of different galaxy types and structures.

I guess the answer is yes however you do get really impressive images of small stuff at times

It is a small but interesting group Steve, nicely captured

Thanks Colin. I do like these less well known fields.

Great work Steve. it is fascinating how UV/blue galaxies co-exist with more normal yellow/red ones at moderate redshift. Nice example. cheers Ray

Using way too much focal length there Steve.

Once again I am amazed by the rare finds you come up with. Nice one

Good work Steve

[RobF (Rob)]

I've got a galaxy cluster named after me

Nice work Steve

Thanks Rob. I've no idea who this Robert was so it could well be you. Apparently the name was given by Arp and Madore in 1987. At least that's what Wikipedia says.

Thanks Peter. Yeah this should have been binned 2x2 for sure. Still I've got good results in the past with unbinned luminance on the 16200. The seeing has to be good though.
