Description

Astrobin took nearly 3 hours to process this particular capture. What makes this a surprise to me is the sheer number of faint ic's and ngc's in the image. Astrometery plate solved this with the following list of IC's 3392 ,3409 ,3419 ,3422 ,3435 ,3453 ,3462, 797, 3432, 3442, 3476, 3478, 3398, 3423 and NGC 4479, 4477, 4516 . Also seen clearly is M88 in the capture.

IC 3419 is listed at absolute Mag. of 15.85 some of the other ic's are between 13 to 16 Magnitude.

What makes this so amazing is its just from 4 combined 90 second captures.

If weather holds up all night I will attempt again M88 and its surrounding friends and try to frame M88 as close as possible to same framed position as last night.
