astrobin debut of UGC10806 and its (very remote) friends
About the Object
UGC10806 is an object that has not been featured yet on astrobin. UGC 10806 is a pretty messy SBdm galaxy, a rather faint (13.73 mag) object at a redshift corresponding to 937km/sec (about 40 Million ly). The 4 objects along the straight line from the lower left to the upper right fall in two groups, UGC10806 and its neighbor to the lower left (16.88 mag) are at 937km/sec, the two objects on the upper right are quite a bit more distant at 7195 km/s and 7569 km/s. The two galaxies in the upper left part of the frame (both about 15.6 mag) are even further at 9907 km,/s and 9953 km/s, respectively. When comparing with the Kitt Peak Galaxy redshift survey, my image also captures four very faint (~19 mag) diffuse blobs about 1-2 UGC10308 diameter south - these are mostly at redshift ~0.3. not bad for two short and not astronomically dark summer nights....
