Description

Although last night's seeing conditions were marginal, I took the opportunity to image ngc4725.  This unusual spiral galaxy is distinguished by its single arm.   Image data was:  40 x 180 seconds Luminance; 14 x 600 seconds each RGB binned 2x2.  Image was cropped about 50%.

Imaged from my Sagrada Observatory with a 24" f8 RC and FLI-PL-09000 CCD Camera, Gen II Filters.

Seeing conditions started out fair, then became poor through the night -- typical for our area here in Las Cruces, NM.  The Sagrada Seeing Graph was added to give you an idea of the seeing conditions in my area that I have to deal with.
