Hi Willie, I was checking to see with the Steven's Quintet was up and it’s a full height in early October. So will have to wait awhile.

Great shot, Aubrey. &nbsp;One of my favorite objects. &nbsp;I would like to see a good image of Stephan’s Quintet with this setup. &nbsp;:-)

NGC4038 & 4038 Antennae Galaxies in the constellation Canis Major shot on April 8 and 9th in 2019 from the Brickhouse Observatory on a 10" RC telescope. The Antennae Galaxies are in the process of joining to make one Giant Galaxy some time between now and 400 Million years in the future. They are located about 45 million Light Years from Earth. It is said that they started to merge about 800 million years ago and that about 600 million years ago they passed through each other. This is thought to be somewhat like what will happen when the Andromeda (M31) Galaxy, located at 2.5M years from us, merges with our Milkyway Galaxy in about 4.5 Million Years. Not to worry though, it is not likely that humans will survive on earth that long in my opinion.

I can do it on Thursday or Friday if the weather is good. You want to meet and capture the data with my rig?

Jeff I know that you as an excellent astrophotography person about the work it is when you images in a night with lots of moisture. I had to multiple gradient issues to get this one processed. Hopefully you will be able to get back to imaging soon 

Interesting stuff, and a nice image.
