I tried to find something more exiting on the sky and found this binary star Cor Caroli.
Even if it looks like the sky is almost empty on the image above there are a lot of objects.
See the full resolution image and zoom in.
Can you recognize any object ? |

Crop around the binary star, but they are melted together because of the long exposure get them saturated. |

In the lower left corner there are galaxies.
NGC 5005
and
NGC 5033
are connected to each other weakly, they have the magnitude 10, about.
The NGC 5005 have a distance of 65 million light years, our galaxy is 100'000 light years wide so it's far away outside our galaxy Milky Way.
The NGC 5033 is a Seyfert galaxy, it has an active nucleus.
Even if it's only a small corner of the full image there are more galaxies to be find here,
NGC 5002
and
NGC 5014.
All four are spiral galaxies.
There are many more objects in the image, look at this full field image plate solved by Astrometry:
Cor Caroli plate solved.
It opens in a new window.
And all these exiting objects I found from a very light polluted balcony and a very small telescope. |
