NGC 5907 in Draco 20" F4.5 176X Seeing P6 |
Yet another fine edge on galaxy lies about 40 million ly away in the constellation
Draco. It is 12.3 X 1.8 arc minutes in size and mag 10.4. It appears
very thin and after several subsequent observations I think I exaggerated the
length of the dark lane, however it is prominent at this aperature. the
foreground starfield adds to the view of this fine object.The sketch was done
under the mag 7+ skies of Desert Center, CA. After the scan of the drawing
Photoshop was used to add Gaussian blur and the paintbrush feature was used
to round out my funny looking stars. |
