wolfman_55 Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I took this image with my TS-65 scope and QHY8L camera. I reckon there's at least 13 galaxies in the frame, probably a few more. If an average galaxy has 50 billion stars, that means there's at least 650 billion stars in this image. Makes you feel kind of small: http://astrob.in/330506/B/ Hope you like it.

+Bino-viewer Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 (edited) Its a nice image Dave. Do you have a Flickr account you could use and copy / paste them on here ? The astrobin link shows quite a small image. Edited January 24, 2018 by Bino-viewer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Lovely image with superb detail. For me, the Astrobin link allows much greater unpixellated zooming than the pic in the post above. If you double click the Astrobin image it allows very deep zooming Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ditto about the Astrobin link... A great image! It shows loads of galaxies! It does make you think just how much space and stars are out there! Great stuff ? +Bino-viewer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next reasonably moonless night, I'm going to use Stellarium to find a really rich area for galaxies and give it a go. See how many and how faint I can go. Can't wait.
