Description

Good Afternoon everyone! 

It's David from DS Astro-Valley Photography. I just wanted to share the project that I decided i wanted to stick to until i have a fair amount of hours. My goal for this project is to collect as many hours of data as possible to reveal anything hidden. Mostly IFN "Integrated Flux Nebula". Right now this is 68 × 300". And as you can see it was enough to reveal plenty for a good start to this wonderful project. 

However! That's not all, as I plan to make this a 2 panel mosaic! There is a hidden nebula in another panel that I plan to shoot and integrate for a nice widefield Mosaic! So what you see in this image is the first HALF of the FIRST panel!

COLLABORATORS:

As I plan to make this a very large project, and a very fun one at that, I would most especially love to have anybody work on this project with me using their own equipment and/or processing software. If interested at all, please feel free to get ahold of me using the included email! Thanks for looking and Ckear Skies!

• NGC 4725 is an intermediate barred spiral galaxy with a prominent ring structure, located in the northern constellation of Coma Berenices near the north galactic pole. It was discovered by German-born astronomer William Herschel on April 6, 1785. The galaxy lies at a distance of approximately 40 megalight-years from the Milky Way. NGC 4725 is the brightest member of the Coma I Group of the Coma-Sculptor Cloud, although it is relatively isolated from the other members of this group. This galaxy is strongly disturbed and is interacting with neighboring spiral galaxy NGC 4747, with its spiral arms showing indications of warping. The pair have an angular separation of 24′, which corresponds to a projected linear separation of 370 kly. A tidal plume extends from NGC 4747 toward NGC 4725.
