Last image from the morning by the s50. Decided to see if I could get a better observation of #C60 / #NGC4038 & #NGC4039 #TheAntennaeGalaxies. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
Here was the last observation from yesterday. #C60 / #NGC4038 & #NGC4039 #TheAntennaeGalaxies. #seestar #S50 #space #astronomy #amateur
Arp 244: The Antennae Galaxies. NGC 4038 (upper) and NGC 4039 (lower). About 72 million light years away. #astrophotography #seestar #ngc4038 #ngc4039
Strange how for some people NGC 4039 does not seem to exist.🤔 For them the #AntennaeGalaxy consists of ngc4038 and ngc4038_North. 🤣
#NGC4038 #NGC4039
I am particularly happy that this paper used the MUSE dataset of the Antennae Galaxy and found more than 200 PN candidates in these cubes with the DELF method. The short distance quoted in some H0-related papers now looks like a strong outlier. Here's the animation (Fig. 40) through [OIII]5007.
