| Unidentified regular galaxy in Aquarius | spacecowboy2006 | 6/20/12 1:07 PM | I wondered where there would be many astronomical objects in one field; I was going to make a folder with overlays. When I checked Background Astronomy I realized, there isnt any place that has several objects in one field... it all does, its the sam |

| Re: Unidentified regular galaxy in Aquarius | spacecowboy2006 | 6/30/12 8:25 PM | I guess the real question is where is the largest field of adjunct hi res images on sky? I suppose I could do it if I opened every astronomy overlay from my KMZ folder, but that would likely freeze my PC, so I'll wait for someone else to do it or rec |
| Re: Unidentified regular galaxy in Aquarius | Gregg1956 | 6/30/12 9:02 PM | I'm not certain what it is you're looking for... but what about the Hickson Compact Groups? Is that the kind of thing you mean? |
| Re: Unidentified regular galaxy in Aquarius | spacecowboy2006 | 7/1/12 8:36 AM | I thought I explained it fairly well... "adjunct hi res images." To be more specific, lets refer to APOD. Where might there be several adjunct images (edge to edge) with all the colors and forms of high resolution, spread over a large area of sky? |
| Re: Unidentified regular galaxy in Aquarius | spacecowboy2006 | 7/1/12 2:58 PM | OK, I opened about 100 astronomy overlays from my KMZ folder onto Google Sky before my PC froze (not enough memory), and none were adjunct. Another lesson learned: The cardinal points on sky are near infinite and exponentially so the farther away the |
