      Description

      IC4633 in Apus
      I was always fascinated by this region since my first attempt to image it in 2006.
      It is a quite difficult target even from Namibia as my latitude is -23 so the highest altitude for IC4633 is about 36 degrees.
      So all the data was shot between 30 and 36 degrees and altitude where I usually avoid to image.
      The seeing was not very good last week as well so I had to set my limit to 2.2" for this.
      It would have been nice to have a bit more resolution on the galaxies but it is what it is.
      Hope you enjoy it.
      Wolfgang
