Description

I took Olly Penrice seriously when he claimed that 6" refractors are great galaxy hunters, so I let my EdgheHD scopes rest in the cupboard and put the Esprit 150 at work. These images summarizes the few clear night I had in February and March. RGB was collected with ASI071 (OSC) in most cases supplemented with additional lum from ASI 1600 MM (sometimes sitting on the Esprit 100).

Top left: NGC2903

Top middle: NGC4712, 4725, 4747

Top right: NGC3718 and 3729

Bottom: M96 and M96

The images give an idea of their relative sizes as all imgaes are on the same scale. See the separate posts for image details.
