The Deer Lick group, Stephan's Quintet and IFN

[DJT (David)]

Bliss. Great FOV, marvellous detail and colours are popping.
So with this rig,location and processing skills, have you considered yet how you can contribute to the greater good in terms of science? This stuff you and the other owners are putting together is getting beyond pretty pictures.

So what next?

Thanks, David. At SRO we're trying to squeeze in some research targets for Sakib Rasool who has a list of planetary nebs which he suspects have faint halos.

Cheers,
Rick.

that is a really interesting and beautiful image Rick. It's good to see that the system will also be used for some serious research - it is clearly getting into the class of serious gear.

Ta, Lewis. The story is that whoever named it was observing from a place called Deer Lick Gap in North Carolina.

Just. Wow. Dusty images often seem less sharp to me for some reason, but that bottom left galaxy damn near cut my eyeballs it's so sharp.

Fair enuf.

I have a mate in Kentucky who lives in a lovely place named Paint Lick... apparently, it's not about paint, but rather Panthers (I am guessing actually Cougars or wolverines) at the salt lick.

Muricans can be might funny down south...

Are you sure its not something to do with lead paint? That would explain everything

A stunning image Rick, love the veiled look with those wisps of IFN everywhere. The quintet shows some impressive tidal tails and the composition with the large galaxy is excellent. Great colours too, simply fantastic! There really is nothing like these deep galaxy shots.

[RickS (Rick)]

Thanks very much, Rolf!
