Description

This image captures the Draco Triplet, a group of galaxies some 100 million light-years away. The spiral galaxy on the left is NGC 5985, the elliptical in the middle is NGC 5982, and the edge-on spiral galaxy on the right is NGC 5981.

Finally I have been able to contribute some data, although it was not as good as Samuel's.

Samuel collected 20x900" L with his GSO RC10, Atik 4000, AP900.

I collected 11x900" L with a GSO RC8, Moravian G2-1600, 10Micron GM2000.

Colin collected 142x300" RGB with his Ian King Ikharos 8", Atik 460ex, Paramount MX.
