Draco Triplet

[Dietmar]

hi friends,
I am really happy cos these days keep me really busy...
last year I started this project to continue this year and I think I have enough data to finish it, as there is so much further work out there... (-;
Draco Triplet makes a beautiful target in a decent telescope as well!
for those who remember:
I did not take darks for 1x1 in NGC 5907, but only for 2x2 bin.
This time I tried 6 darks for 1x1 bin - I must say, it is not really necessary! Thanks to Terry's know-how taing darks for 2x2 binned images is all we need in case of a SXVF H16.
find all data and images here please:

thanks for taking a look!
best regards,
Dietmar

Wow that is quite amazing.. The face on spiral is just superb!

Thanks Dietz, another ripper.

Wow, dont you mean the Draco sextuplet?

Another fantastic image, thanks for sharing!

edit: Oops I see 11 of them in there!

Wow that is a great image. So much detail in that spiral and how many galaxies are there in the background????

I don't recall seeing anything previously on this target and I don't think that the constellation Draco is visible from where I am. So thank you for sharing.

Wow – that is a beautiful portrait of these galaxies. The full size image is quite amazing; you can clearly see several other galaxies in the background.

Cheers

Hi,

Love the detail in that spiral. You always do a fantastic job on these small galaxy clusters, each galaxy appears like a small jewel

Very nicely done, Dietmar. There's a heap of galaxies in the background.

Beautiful Image Dietz, can we have some pics of the TMB that was used for the image??

Beautiful processing of these targets Dietz. Very smooth and visually pleasing. Well done.

I need some time to recover.
When I pick up my jaw off the floor I'll post a reply.

LOL what a superb work of art, I love the detail in the spiral !

Well done indeed !!!

Fwoor! What a ripper image Dietz. Stunning.

This is a fine image but the full scale image does show some noise.
