Mike You are too hard on your self. That is a great shot, with three other galaxies. IC 2745 is low right of NGC 3628. IC 2725 and IC 2729 are right of NGC 3628. They form a triangle with the bright star to the right of NGC 3628. Two great LTG galaxies.

This was shot with my 5" refractor on 3 different nights in February and March from the Antennas site. I'm not fully happy with my processing job on it....but I do like that it goes pretty deep. I'm pretty geeked that I was able to capture the tidal tail from NGC3628, something I've only seen in a couple of other amateur images. So here it is....comments and critique are encouraged. *Objects:* M65, M66, NGC 3628 *Date(s):* Feb 25, 2012 & Mar 15, 2012 & Mar 16, 2012 *Location:* Saguaro Astronomy Club's "Antennas" Site - Western Arizona. 90 miles from Phoenix. *Telescope:* Explore Scientific ES127CF Refractor - 127mm f/7.5 Triplet & Hotech SCA Field Flattener *Mount:* Hypertuned Celestron CGE Mount *Camera:* QHY8PRO One Shot Color CCD - 6.3 Megapixel APS-C sensor *Guiding:* QHY5 & 9x50 finder via PHD *Exposure:* 10.5 hours - 42 x 15 minutes *Capture:* Maxim DL 5.18 *Calibration & Processing:* PixInsight 1.7 Regular Link: http://astrobin.com/full/8556/?mod=none Here is a direct link if you have trouble viewing<http://astrobin_images.s3.amazonaws.com/2c9970c9-2a14-4939-b264-0ca582ae9f88.jpg> Thanks for looking, Mike -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list. ----- No virus found in this message.
