Description

It's possible to do quite a bit of broadband from a Bortle 8, but it's not easy. Of course I could get better results both faster and easier from a dark sky, but I don't have one of those--yet.

Dr. Richard Kimble may have had a hard time finding the one-armed man, but I can tell him where the one-armed galaxy is.

Title: Wide Field Mouseover Overlay

Description: This wider field also contains NGC 4747. It is thought that NGC 4725 and NGC 4747 are interacting gravitationally. That interaction is likely the source of the tails on NGC 4747 and the distorted outer ring of NGC 4725.
