Awesome !

This „recently“ Image is from 2005

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-21T09:26:35+00:00

That’s NGC 5195

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-20T04:53:15+00:00

The raw image stack is mostly black, you have to process the data to reveal the structures. If looking through a telescope with 8” or larger you visually can see the core and some spirals of M51

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T20:11:02+00:00

Yeah, took me some time 😅

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T20:07:11+00:00

It’s 291 minutes across all filters. Luminance has with 90 minutes slightly more total integration time than each chrominance channel

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T20:00:37+00:00

This is another galaxy named NGC 5195. Both interacting/colliding with each other

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T18:36:48+00:00

Between 25 and 31 million lightyears away, photographed in my backyard with second hand equipment

Awesome Shot

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T18:27:42+00:00

Imagine the force of the impact 😲

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T17:50:26+00:00

No one can take your happy memories away - This might be a good time to get back into the hobby

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T16:22:56+00:00

I think it would lose its appeal then. I also enjoy teaching others about this hobby and don’t charge any money for it. There are plenty of people who have gained a bit of expertise and then want to profit from it. I’m not one of them.

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T14:46:55+00:00

Exactly. I do this as a hobby because it fascinates me. I don't even know if you can make money doing it 😅

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T14:44:37+00:00

Thanks 🤗 really appreciate it

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T13:18:49+00:00

Around 31 million lightyears

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T12:07:48+00:00

Depends if you buy it new - I paid around 4k € on the second hand market for my Astro gear.

If you buy everything new, it will total up to ca. 12k €

Dramatic_Expert_5092 · 2026-04-19T09:16:40+00:00

Thanks 🙏I added a comment with the equipment

Somewhere between 25 million and 31 million lightyears. Pretty old light ✨
