Hey Rich, I shot that same galaxy (4490) a few years ago. Mine is not near
as good as yours. It takes me back. Sometimes I miss shooting but not
enough to go back to it yet!
I'm having a blast looking and observing new stuff. Someday that will wear
off again and I'll go back to the camera.

Subject: [TAC] NGC4490/NGC4485 Interacting Irregular Galaxies
andNGC5504/neighbors
On Saturday night we had some pretty good seeing so I ended up taking some
images.
One object I shot was NGC4490/NGC4485, a nifty pair of interacting galaxies.
I got part of the image taken on Sat night and finished the data last
night.
It is 3.5 hours total exposure.

Another thing I imaged on Sat night was NGC5504 and some of its closeby
neighbors. These are tiny little galaxies, and very dim. The brighest of the
three major ones is NGC5504 and it is Mag 13.7. IC4383, is Mag 15.3 and the
dimmest of the trio, CGCG103-113, weighs in a smidge over Mag 18
These little galaxies are very tiny too, with the largest, NGC5504, listed
as being 1.1 x 1.3 arc-minutes.
There are some other faint smudges in the image, but I am not sure what they
are.
