Description

First decent shot with new scope (RC 6). Clouds showed up sooner than I would have liked but I am generally pleased with the results considering I was only able to get 17 5 minute subs.

NGC 891 (C23) is about 30 million light years away and the very small galaxy in the lower right hand corner (NGC 898) is about 250 million light years away. I'm going to need a bigger scope for that!

Both galaxies are spiral galaxies viewed edge on. In C23 you can clearly see dust lanes through the middle of the galaxy.
