Description |
||||
The last image with the U9 before it goes back to Apogee for some much needed cleaning and chip evaluation -- we had been detecting an ever increasing number of bad columns. But the U9 still goes out with a BANG with this making APOD. This is the longest (?) single image taken by SSRO...with 28 hours on just the luminance component, and a total of 60 hours for the LRGB. NGC 7424 is a grand design galaxy similar to the Milky Way in the southern constellation Grus. |
