Description

Another pair of galaxies in the Canes Venatici constellation. 

My first dark trip with my new SVX140T scope.
Only had one night but pleased with the performance, given only 5.6 hours of integration time.

An LRGB image, using standard processing with the modern tools in PI. 

NGC 5033 is an inclined spiral galaxy located in the constellation Canes Venatici. Distance estimates vary from between 38 and 60 million light years from the Milky Way. The galaxy has a very bright nucleus and a relatively faint disk. Significant warping is visible in the southern half of the disk. 

NGC 5005, also known as Caldwell 29, is an inclined spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici. The galaxy has a relatively bright nucleus and a bright disk that contains multiple dust lanes. The galaxy's high surface brightness makes it an object that is visible to amateur astronomers using large amateur telescopes. Distance measurements for NGC 5005 vary from 45-113 million light-years.

Thanks for looking 
Clear Skies!
