IC4720 & IC4721 Very faint Galaxies

Hi Guys,

Took me a good few hours to locate these objects last night. I had to star hop and taking random sky shots just to find it. Impossible to see these in your viewfinders thats for sure.

15 x 2 minutes total of 30 minutes exposure stacked in registax. processed in photoshop CS2 darks subtracted.

There is also an eliptical galaxy right next to IC4721. Galaxies in collition? From what I have read, that small eliptical isn't listed yet.

Anyway hope you guys like it.

Thanks Vingster. Just want to give the fainter objects a try. Bit of a challenge for me. Something different

Excellent job, Eric! I can hardly believe you managed pull them out of the heavy light pollution.

Look at the caption on the image Roger.

thanks for your comments guys. lol at Steve

i recalled your place is quite dark so you've got a better spot for night viewing than me
