| M109 Galaxy Group LAAstro.com by Bill Patterson |
| Date Taken: March 9, 2005 Location: Sunglow Ranch, AZ Equipment: Takahashi FS152 telescope & SBIG STL11000 Notes: Scroll down to see the major galaxies in this group or press link for a widefield view. The three closeups are all cropped selections from the single larger image. LRGB = 50/20/20/5 (All but one blue frame was lost due to tracking problems) |
| NGC3953 - Spiral Galaxy Ursa Major Mag 10.8 Size 6.9' x 3.4' Looks like M109 turned on it's side but they're really two very similar galaxies in the same FOV. Note the streaked stars - the FS152 cannot fully cover the field of the STL11k with a flat field :( |
| M64 - Black Eye Galaxy Coma Berenicies Mag 8.7 Size 10' x 5.4' LRGB = 96/24/24/24 |
| M109 - Spiral Galaxy Ursa Major Mag 10.5 Size 7.7' x 4.7' |
