Description

My goal here was to capture a lot of data, especially luminance to show the faint tidal tail streaming away from ngc 3628. Being winter with bad seeing and very windy nights, the frames that made the cut were suficient  but definitely not the summer quality I can get here. The result, I think, was ok resolution on the galaxy and the tidal tail came through well enough.

Time to tear down my set up and get ready for the finest season of imaging with the Ceravolo astrograph still at f/9 but with an SBIG Aluma 694 ccd camera and new AO guiding system. Engineering nights coming up.
