In the Mallincam Yahoo group Curtis Macc posted a very deep negative image of extremely faint galaxies in Pisces using his MC Micro in a C9.25" at f/4.5 with an Astronomik UHC filter showing PGC 6309 (UGC 1200). While at Mag 14 galaxy UGC 1200 only has a surface brightness of 22.6 Mag and his image also shows stars down to mag 19.5. I liked his efforts so much I wanted to show it in here, so I went into Sinbad and grabbed a DSS image of the same area, rotated, zoomed etc until they overlayed each other to show the same area imaged by the Sloan Deep Sky Survey (DSS) camera. Here is Curtis' negative image and the DSS overlay as an animation. (click on image to open) Fantastic results from a $100 camera!!! Well done Curtis. The info about UGC 1200: simbad.u-strasbg.fr/simbad/sim-id?Ident=UGC++1200

Yes that is deep. Even Stellarium doesn't show it. I could only go down to mag 15 with my watec 910hx and my ED120 at F11. Makes me want to buy a bigger scope.

I am not in the least bit surprised at a 19th mag capture. Great job!!!!!
The best I have gotten with my Micro EX and the local club's LX200r14 is a 14th mag. in m17. I am sure I have gotten dimmer but I can't positively ID them.
