A trio of goodies was created by dmcdona
Folks, whilst the skies are cloudy, I'm quietly passing time rummaging through my old folders and updating the website.

For your delectation, I offer you three further fruits of my labours, though perhaps you're sick of satsumas right now...

NGC 6997 - an irregular galaxy in Cygnus. So irregular, it looks like an open cluster...
www.astroshack.net/gallery/galaxies/ngc6997.php

IC342 - a spiral galaxy in Camelopardalis (one of my first images of 2006) - its pretty low-surface brightness but you can see some detail.
www.astroshack.net/gallery/galaxies/ic342.php

And finally, looking like an apple for sure (or a satsuma...) is M57 - the infamous planetary nebula.

Go gorge yourselves :wink:

Cheers

Dave

p.s. I'm so gorged myself that I haven't yet completed all image details. Please bear with me whilst I fast awhile...

Nice images Dave. You had me there!! I'm thinking, I cant see any galaxy there, so I took it and stretched it, still no galaxy, then i re-read your post!!

I'll get you for that you scoundrel!! ;)

Amazing how big IC343 is, even at f6.3 it doesnt all fit in!

Nice images as usual!!

Regards and Clear Skies,

Great shots Dave! NGC 6997 is certainly a "loose" galaxy. IC342 and M57 are both stunning.

M57 comes up nice in the black and white Dave, well done! I'm still stumped about the Cygnus one myself though! :?
