Description

NGC 772 is a spiral galaxy about twice the size of our Milky Way galaxy with several satellite galaxies. A tidal stream can be seen between NGC 772 and the nearby dwarf galaxy NGC 770.

  I collected this data over 8 nights in 2021 between October 13th and November 27th. The data set consists of:

L = 39 x 600s
R = 47 x 600s
G = 38 x 600s
B = 44 x 600s.

I also took six hours of Ha data, but it didn't add much detail, so I decided not to use it.
