stash Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 And is case you get bored another - well beyond my scope really but again in Pegasus - NGC7XXX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Thought the first was NGC 7479 but not sure, so I'll leave that for Steve. The second galaxy is NGC 7448. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Ibbo Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I must confess I cheated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tweedledee Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Not sure what you class as cheating. I calculated Clive's camera FOV for his scope, then reduced the Stellarium screen to a bit larger than that. I then punched in a few of the brighter galaxies in Pegasus and used my brain to plate solve the patterns. Was very tired after a nice binocular session lying on a sun/star lounger in the garden. Milky Way was lovely last night. Smithysteve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No thats not cheating - just brilliant - NGC7448 spot on - give that man a clap Very impressive I just (have too!) go to Astronomy.net Orion and Tweedledee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithysteve Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I am away in caravan, and luckily for me, I just saw this lot now it's all done and dusted! ☺️? If Pete cannot get it, then I have no chance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stash Posted August 24, 2017 Author Share Posted August 24, 2017 Ah the "real" Steve has turned up - sorry Ibbo but the Pete and Steve I referred too was Steve Smith(Stephen). This was not to exclude anybody but just a bit of a standing joke on my photo's of "odd" galaxies and the fountain of knowledge they both provide on the subjects - Pete is really a Cyborg - half man and half computer - not sure which bits I don't care who takes part so sorry Graham not intended to exclude - just a laugh! For my part I use Plate Solve to get there in the first place as I am not part Cyborg but I dont use Sat Nav - if that counts - I can read a map and compass !

Smithysteve Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Funny you should say that, I have heard Pete saying; "Does not compute! Does not Compute" once or twice, but this is very rare! ? ?? stash and Tweedledee 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the post by Angus about the astro audio program... http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/w3csvnv0 Well, I was cursing for an hour over that. I wanted to download it to listen to off line on dog walks. Because the BBC download website said BBC iplayer radio near the top, I expected to download it and for it to appear in my iplayer radio app with my other podcasts etc. Logical assumption? No chance. I must have downloaded it 20 times onto my phone and swore at it a 100 times before my 16 year old son told me that it is not meant to be played via iplayer!!?? He sorted me out with a different app for it. Does not compute, does not compute!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
