ELAIS-N2-P2

As promised, a few crops from the second 1x1 degree mosaic image, composed from u, g, r and z-band data in the SpARCS ELAIS-N2-P2 field (as B, V, R and violet channels). Total exposure time is about 3h, with the MEGAPRIME camera installed on the 3.6m Canada-France Hawaii Telescope. The second field was much more interesting than the first one. 

The original image is about 6.4 Gb, so I had to crop some more interesting regions. 


Great pair of galaxies

ELAIS-N2-P1

A few crops from a 1x1 degree mosaic image, composed from g, r and z-band data in the SpARCS ELAIS-N2-P1 field (as B, V and R channels). Total exposure time is about 3h, with the MEGAPRIME camera installed on the 3.6m Canada-France Hawaii Telescope

The original image is 4.7 Gb, so I had to crop some more interesting regions.

Hundreds of galaxies in just a few arcminutes


The power of a 4m class telescope is still great! :) More images to come soon, as I see interesting regions in the data I have.
