Description

NGC 3227 is an intermediate spiral galaxy that is interacting with the dwarf elliptical galaxy NGC 3226. The two galaxies are one of several examples of a spiral with a dwarf elliptical companion that are listed in the Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies, this couple are Arp 94.

The data was collected over two nights and is a mix of 2 and 3 min exposures at ISO 3200 and 6400 as I am still testing out using the modded Sony A7s on the 14" SCT. Air temperature was a few centigrees below zero which probably helped keeping noise down. This full frame 12 MP APS camera have large 8.32 µm pixels, so it is a relatively good match (still a bit oversampling) for the 3.55 m focal length of the SCT.
