Hi, just wanted to correct the note I sent, below. The galaxy that I photographed last, NGC 4565, is called the Needle Galaxy, not the Silver Needle Galaxy. There is a Silver Needle Galaxy, but it is NGC 4244. Thanks, Joe --- On Sat, 4/2/11, Joe Bauman <josephmbauman@yahoo.com> wrote:

But I did go to the Wedge Friday night and it was my best night of astronomy so far. When I got my gear in order, it worked beautifully. I think my pictures were better than ever because of my new marine deep-charge battery, which does not shake the ground like my generator did (to say nothing of the lack of noise and gas smell). I imaged M87, showing its giant jet, the Copeland Septet of galaxies and NGC4565, aka the Silver Needle Galaxy. The night started overcast, so badly that I could targets through the light clouds but not focus on them adequately, but suddenly that cleared up. The rest of the time it was clear, dry and still. I was still shooting when dawn began to break. Best wishes, Joe
