hi folks,

it's been a while...
I don't know how it is on your location guys, but here wheather has turned really nasty in the last year(s).
meanwhile we hold at 1 decent night every 4-5 weeks...getting worse I am afraid...

so this is the reason I decided to finish this project on NGC 4214.
I intended to go real deep with both, lum and rgb.
all I got within 1 monnth is 2 hours lum and 50 min each channel...
not much and therefore quite tough to process.
also there are not many images on the web...at least I did not find a lot.

nevertheless it is a beautiful and fascinating galaxy I think!
I love all those irregular ones. and to the bottom left I think we see a small 'traveller' that might get cought or might have been caught by gravity of 4214. perhaps one of the tidals R Jay has published together with his pro-friend is yet to be formed,...or it is just not visible in this image, since my lumin. data is so slim... )-:

please find the image(s) and all data on my website:
www.stargazer-observatory.com/4214.html

thanks for looking guys!
Dietmar

A beautiful image. It doesn't look like 'limited data' to me. Bright and blue. Lots of new stars due to a disturbance causing the irregularity possibly?
