ESO 387-87G (Ugly Image)

[sjastro]

A dwarf galaxy in the neighbouring NGC 5128 group. This one is a difficult target mostly due to a field star that flooded the field.

Not a pretty object by any stretch of the imagination but at least it's in mostly unchartered territory as an imaging target.

This is a 90% cropped image.

Thanks Kevin.

What I mean't to convey is that it is the sort of object that wouldn't be in anyone's top 100 list in terms of beauty. I wouldn't post it if I wasn't satisfied with the image.

I find these type of objects far more interesting to image than the usual stuff.

And I find viewing images of these more obscure objects far more interesting than seeing the usual M8, M20, M42 for the 50th time

Thanks for sharing.

For an ugly image, that is quite beautiful! If that is ugly, in comparison then, my DSO’s must look dreadfully horrific LOL!

I like seeing the obscure stuff! This little fellow has a certain charm Nice job Steven

The dark halos around the stars detract a bit though.

Thanks for the comments.

Sorry for the typo but the correct designation is ESO 383-G87.

Agree Steven, not the best looking image of this target, but having said that there isn't too many around to compare. Certainly is obscure and interesting. Thanks for sharing.

Quite a fascinating little galaxy Steven and definitely one I haven't seen before.

Thanks for the posting.
