Astrophotography by Eddie Guscott

NGC 925

This is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Triangulum. Although quite large at ten arc minutes, it is quite a dim object. Several knots of nebulosity can be seen in one of the arms.

Date/Location: 28 September 2006   Kelling Heath Star Party, Norfolk
Equipment: 5" f/6 refractor
Camera/Exposure: ST2000XM CCD camera
14 x 10 mins Luminance only.
Notes: I had always meant to acquire the colour data for this galaxy but never did. It was surprisingly fainter than the listed mag 10.5 but shows some interesting detail in one of the galaxy arms.
