Grus Quartet from Cambroon 08-09-07

[[1ponders] (Paul)]

This was taken with the ED80 and WO 0.8 FR and flattener (again ) and 300D on a GM8 autoguided with a ToUcam 900 through a 60mm Carton refractor (f/7) in side by side arrangement.

Focused with DSLR Focus, autoguided with K3CCDTools V3 and interfaced with the trusty ol' StarMate. Exposure also controlled using the StarMate:- 9/300sec@ISO800 @ f/6, dark subtracted and average combined in Images Plus and curved, leveled and otherwise processed in PS.

Excellent image Paul. We were clouded out in Brissie so went to a Riverfire outdoors movie event at Whiteshill to watch "An Inconvenient Truth" by Al Gore. Pizza, cappuccino and a movie under the broken cloud was quite peasant.

What is the 5th galaxy at top right?

Cheers

Dennis

Thanks Dennis. You'll have to bring your swag up one weekend. Plenty of tent space around.

According to SN that galaxy is most like to be NGC7531 with NGC7632 center bottom.

Great capture Paul !
I showed my kids this image and explained to them what they were looking at.
They were fascinated at the wonder of it all.

Thank you for sharing.
