|
| Date/Location: | 7 September 2004, Equinox Star Part, Kelling Heath, Norfolk |
| Equipment: | 5" F6 TMB Refractor on AP900 mount |
| Camera/Exposure: | ST2000XM ccd camera / LRGB 60/30/30/30 minutes all with 10 min sub frames |
| Notes: | This object is impossible for me to image from home, so i took advantage of the clear southern horizon at a star party. Even so, at -20 degrees declination, the galaxy was never higher than 15 degrees above the horizon. The telescope was nearly pointing horizontally at the end of imaging. |
