Very nicely framed with plenty of fainter galaxies etc. to look at as well.
I gotta get me a camera. And some clear skies,LOL

pretty good, lots of detail for 20 mins total exposure.

Nice widefield view Doug. Very smooth background

Lovely Doug, a great widefield and the surrounding fainter galaxies look tops as well.

Well done.

Really nice Doug, not a lot of colour, but the depth is good. Love the framing for all the smaller galaxies as well.

Keep up the good work!

Cheers

hey great widefield shot ! could see heaps of other small galaxies around it too.

Doug,

excellent capture of the Fornax Cluster!!!!!!

Due to my Toucams FOV I can only fit one (sometimes two) of the Fornax Clusters Galaxies in.

Nice to see lots of them there

and so nicely done.

Thanks everyone it is great to get some good feedback on images. We only post the images to firstly get some constructive critisism and learn something and secondly to see if we are improving in other peoples eyes. I don't expect to be up there with the best imagers but maybe if I live long enough and buy the best gear I will one day get somewhere near it.

Thanks again

Awesome image Doug

So many galaxies!

what scope was it through Doug?

Hagar (Doug) · #12 16-01-2008, 08:03 AM

Mick, An ED80 with WO 0.8 Reducer flattener on a skywatcher EQ6 mount guided with WO 66,DSI and PHD Guiding. Camera is a Canon 40D unmodified with noise reduction on.

It really brings to mind the saying "island universes" to my mind.

Peter Ward · #14 17-01-2008, 09:13 PM

Doug,

Headed in the right direction. The image scale is small. It would be nice to see
some more resolution and depth e.g. try say 60 mins.

Perhaps a barlow in the imaging train?

Colour, tracking, focus all good.

Great effort!

Yes, nice seeing so many other galaxies all around, sharp well focussed stars.
