IC 4710
In May 2015 I spent some time at the Tivoli astrofarm in Namibia. During that stay I took several deep images of the southern sky with the equipment of the Stella observatory. One of them was the galaxy IC 4710 in the constellation Pavo.
Data calibration and registration and the final processing was done with PixInsight. The result was as follows:
In the image you can also find some quasars. The most distant of them is:
WISEA J182549.26-665924.4 with a redshift of 2.20 and an apparent magv of 19.5 (SDSS DR17).
The images were taken with the following equipment:
- Location: Tivoli, Namibia
- Telescope: 12“ ASA Astrograph
- Focal length [mm]: 1076
- Focal ratio: 3.6
- Mount: ASA DDM 85
- Camera: FLI Microline ML8300
- Filter: L:R:G:B
- Exposure time [min]: 345:60:60:60
- Resolution: 1.04″/px
