Video shot NGC2442 and 2434

[allan gould]

Took 190 x 10 sec shots of the Meathook galaxy from suburban Brisbane last night with the Watec 120N+ camera. I didnt polar align as its not needed with such short shots or guide.
I was surprised to see NGC 2434 in the same shot as well as an unidentified galaxy closer in (bottom left hand side).
Its so easy but I need to get to a darker site and do longer integrations

That worked out nicely Allan given you only had 80mm aperature. Would be interested to see how it goes through the 10".

Nice one Allan - reminds me of the eyepiece view from Leyburn ... just slightly more of the fainter extents showing through in your image.

Nice result Allan considering that you used a 80mm scope. Well done.

I hope you don't mind bit I adjusted your image in PS to bring out the Galaxy a bit more.
