IC1613 - Galaxy - Cetus

[PKay (Peter)]

Well to be honest, I'm not sure what I have captured.

Not found anything that looks like it.

Must give up the green stuff

[Placidus (Mike and Trish)]

That's utterly superb. It looks like a dwarf magellanic galaxy similar to Barnard's Galaxy. Lots and lots of yummy detail in your image.

Hi MnT!

I still haven't found another image that shows this scene.
Maybe someone out there can find one

RA/Dec 4h 33m 25.35s -4deg 15' 55.6"

Wanna have a look?

[strongmanmike (Michael)]

No, its rarely imaged by amateurs and this is a good shot of it mate

One of the many galaxies I have "nearly" imaged over the years but something has always managed to trump it so thanks, for the looksee, does look a lot like Barnard's Galaxy though.

+1 Excellent shot of that faint dwarf galaxy. Good details in the red Hii regions as well. One for the cool wall.

Didn't even know this thing existed. Can't see it on Stellarium.
How did you even know to shoot it?

Really nice, I echo everyone else's comments!

Okay so I've just had a peak on the DSS survey in Stellarium with these coordinates.

This thing is TINY! I've paired my camera and scope through Stellarium's oculars and it barely registers.

Even more impressed with this image now.

Sorry everyone - It is IC1613 in Cetus.

And thank you for the encouragement

Well that makes more sense
Still, this one is even more faint, even if it's "bigger".

Peter,
There’s always a first and your the first
Great image !!
Didn’t know it existed
Well done indeed
Cheers

Excellent Peter!

Wondering if the little green blob at 7 o'clock is a planetary neb?

Congrats on successfully navigating the unknown!

Yes, that confirms it is indeed a dwarf magellanic type galaxy. We must have a peek.

Good luck Andy, got my vote

Now that would be totally cool.
Zero in on that Neb at 7 o' clock with your big bucket.
We may all learn something...

Well done Pete, I made a start on this DSO with my C8 some time ago but gave up because it was so faint. Nice to see what it actually looks like.
