Description:
05/11/2025 We had our first clear night Sunday, so I had a chance to capture my first ever image of NGC 5906, The Splinter Galaxy. Seeing was “below average”, but transparency was “above average” and that clearly helped. _______________________________________________________ NGC 5906, The Splinter Galaxy Distance: 46.5 million light years away 2,700x5 second exposures at 250 gain Orion Xt10g goto Dobsonian Alt/Azimuth ZWO 294 MC ZWO EAF focuser Optolong UV/IR cut filter Nexus 0.75x Focal Reducer and Coma Corrector 30 Flats 30 Dark Flats 30 Darks Captured with NINA Processed with PixInsight, BlurXTerminator, NoiseXterminator, GraXpert, Photoshop.
