I stumbled across it actually, when i was looking for something to image from a star catalogue.

It is an unknown, and i think its a better galaxy than the more known and boring NGC253 (Sculptor) galaxy. Theres a few more unknown but still great galaxies in that area, and when my scope and sky conditions improve i'll image somemore.

Gama,

I like your reference to stumbling across. I think self discovery is wonderful! If you would like to discover NGC 1566 in Dorado some time I don't think you will be disappointed. I'd like to see how you image it.

Regards

Glenn D

Well, its raining now, and when she clears up i'll image it.

I'll try both the SXV-H9 and the 20D and see how she goes.


I did get the Tarantula Neb a few weeks ago, all be it a short exposure, it still pretty good.
Camera was the 20D thru the 14" RCX at f5, but the f6.3 reducer adds some distortion at the very edges though. But until Meade bring out a proper flatner for these scopes, its better than nothing.
