Hamburger galaxy tidal tail

Christian Osbahr · March 2022

After a rare sequence of several clear nights around the last new moon I am trying to process an image of the Leo triplet, using some of the knowledge gained from studying the fundamentals material (I particularly appreciate my new-found understanding of the Deconvolution process!).

In general I'm happy with my progress, but using autostretch I can see I've actually got some of the tidal tail of the hamburger galaxy - it's just so faint that I haven't been able to get it out without severely "overexposing" everything else. Does anyone have any ideas or tips, or should I just accept that I do not have enough signal here to display it?

Thanks,

Christian

Hi Christian,

I do think I offer a potential path forward in my work on NGC 3614:

I demonstrated how I went about trying to bring up the very faint tidal tails (that I discovered).

This is in the Horizons collection.

Sincerely,

HI Adam,

thanks for your quick feedback! I'll have to check that out as I'd love to be able to demonstrate a hint of the tidal tail in my image!

Thanks,

Christian
