This image contains information from three different team members (D. Bautzmann, R. Pölzl and F. Neyer). It was delivered to Prof. Dr. I. Karachentsev for detailed investigations on 2013-11-13. The result was the dicovery of three low surface brightness galaxies (LSB) as well as a structure we called “the bridge” – a diffuse diagonal trail from northwest to southeast. The bridge could be a tidal stream.
Therfore please have a look to our first publication in the chapter “publications”.

(Data consist of: 3.25 hours (D. Bautzmann, March 2013, CDK 12.5 (f/8), ASA DDM85 Mount, Apogee U16M camera) – 5.67 hours (R. Pölzl, May/June 2013, 14.5″ Newton f/3.8, ASA DDM85 Mount, FLI ML 8300 camera) – 15 hours (F. Neyer, February/March 2013, 5.5″ TEC APO refractor (f/7.2), AP900GoTo Mount, STL11000M camera). Total number of used images: 75; total exposure time: 23.9 hours, average FWHM: 3.0 arcsec, resampled at 1.80″/pixel, FOV of about 42′ x 32′, North is up. Processing by F. Neyer)
