“ Had I the heavens' embroidered cloths,
Enwrought with golden and silver light,
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half light,”

Star Streams detected in NGC 4216....on a whim I decided to attempted this 50 minute (5x10m) image to see if I could detect faint star streams caused by NGC 4126 ( the main galaxy) cannibalizing smaller satellite galaxies. Note the VERY dim stream at 6 o'clock below the galaxy...see the APOD image for comparison.
This faint stream has been captured with very deep images of the galaxy..see APOD

It is somewhat amazing with a 140mm scope and less than an hour we can see the beginnings of this star stream.
Image taken by Lynn Hilborn, WhistleStop Obs, Grafton,Ontario on March 06, 2013. TEC 140 and ML 8300 camera.
Perhaps if I spend 20 hours or so we can build enough signal to see the full stream.....
