Hey, it could be worse. At least he wasn't one of those ensigns given a red shirt.

Since we seem to be seeing things... There is a Dinosaur looking to his left at the bottom just to the right of center. He seems to be looking at a horse that is running away, possibly Chris's or Beyond's???

BUT THE WHOLE THING LOOKS LIKE PAC-MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

To upload a picture, when posting a comment, notice below the space, UPLOAD ATTACHMENT. Click on that, Click browse and go to a picture on your computer. Type in a comment if any, and click ADD THE FILE. Then Click preview to see how it all looks. If you need to change the order of the picture to before your post, click Place Inline. If you have MULTIPLE PICTURES. Load the LAST ONE FIRST or it will be at the top. Very confusing sometimes.
When it all looks good, click SUBMIT, and VIOLIN!!!!! Your done.

Thanks for posting that picture, eltodesukane!

The galaxy doesn't appear in my software. In view of the fact that NGC 602 is a very bright nebula, full of bright point sources (stars), and that any galaxy will have low surface brightness, I think it is unlikely that this galaxy has been recorded or listed in any galaxy catalogs. In fact, no one may have known about this galaxy until Hubble took this picture.

To me the galaxy looks like a lovely, regular, un-barred spiral of Hubble class Sc, the one where galaxies are dominated by their arms. The galaxy resembles the nearby classic Sc spiral M74, in my opinion.

Yeah... some cowboy! No lariat for ropin' them dogies, and no shootin' irons for fending off them rustlers, and the wrong kind of gloves. Reckon he'd better keep his abominable job.

Well, we only round up cows in November. This was in October, checking out the changing aspens. No need for a throwing rope (we don't call them lariats here) on a pleasure ride, never much need for sidearms, except for sport, and those are the gloves I wear when I'm taking pictures in coolish weather, since I can easily manage the camera controls. If it's real cold I go for lined elkskin, but I need to pull one off to take a picture.

"Also, the fact that this is a V-Ha-I image, taken through green (555 nm), Ha + N II (658 nm) and infrared (814 nm) filters,"

I probably don'tneed to understand this - but I would like to! Is this feasible for a non-photographer?

And - many thanks for all the info on how to use BB Codes. I am getting it sussed!

Margarita (does an ensign serve up cat dinners?)

I must be in the wrong forum. I'm looking for a thread about NGC 602. Anyone know where it went?

Rob

Here's a little video that zooms in on NGC 602: http://www.spacetelescope.org/videos/heic0702a/

And an article on it some might enjoy is here: http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/20 ... 145732.htm

Like the ones who get the red shirts... it seems to have disappeared.
AHA! Our resident Wise Young owl admin seems to have found it with her owl-vision.

Now if she could only see what is wrong with the w's
