The compact group of galaxies HCG 92, also known as "Stephan's Quintet", where pictured by us on July 31, 2000. This is a good example of a small cluster of galaxies. Toatl exposure time of 4 minutes.
A nice example of the edge on galaxy
Typical example of our CCD images of SN2000cw
On July 14th, 2000, the LOSS (Lick Observatory Supernova Seach) collaboration has discovered a SN in the galaxy MCG +5-56-007. Its announcemet was given through the IAU Circular
Nr. 7456 on July 16, 2000. The hosting galaxy is a barred spiral with B=15.1, and an apparent size of 0.9x0.4 arcmin. Its distance was not known with accuracy, and the only catalogued data we took from SIMBAD database give a
recession velocity of V=9034 Km/sec, and a Z=0.030134, that place it at almost 184MPc (600 MLy) from us.
