NGC3166 and NGC3169

[Paul Haese]

This is an image of NGC3166 and NGC3169. It has long been on my list of targets and I finally got around to capturing some data on it.

The data was taken with an Orion Optics UK AG12 and ZWO533 MM. Imaged at Swan Reach Imaging with 24.9 hours of integration. LRGB 875 200 210 210.

I think I will try to imaging it again next year to define more of the tidal streams which surround NGC3169. There is potentially quite a bit more data to be obtained on the streams.

Very nice and detailed

Great image Paul on a difficult target -
magnitude 10 and 57 million light years away.

cheers

Nice one Paul, well done. Just when you think you have them all in your collection, a new one pops up, I will add that one to my nexts years to do list, assuming the clouds give me a brake.

That's a stunning and unique image Paul. The detail in it is amazing.

I agree, more exposure time will reveal those interesting tidal streams.

This galaxy looks a lot like Cent A.
