Description

I have some data from the other night with the Rasa, to yet process, but last night I had a go at this galaxy (with my f8 RC scope instead) because I really wanted to make best use of the, apparently, less wind that was forecast, because the RC acts like a sail even with the slightest wind!
​​​​​ Actually I ended up throwing away 40 subs, because the wind did pick up and the guider could not hold the stars properly and were thus misshapen... The wind, and the cloud that also arrived!, so much for forecasts, meant the guider could not  keep track properly, and this means there was some movement in the FOV, and so the tiny galaxy to the right of the image, had a lot less integration time, because they moved out of the frame, because of this issue. Anyway, I am happy to have got this under those conditions and I really like these sorts of galaxies. Thanks everyone..
