Appearance: M105. From left to right -- NGC 3389, NGC 3384, and NGC 3379. 3389 is small, dim, round elliptical galaxy with bright center and diffuse disc.

 

NGC3384 is small dim lens shaped galaxy. Bright center is oval, dimmer bulge is round, elongated disc is very dim and iffuse.

 

Note: Unguided test image with mono camera and filter wheel. Cropped toward center of frame to minimize coma/focus issue from excess backfocus distance (working on fix).

 

From Wikipedia:

Messier 105 or M105, also known as NGC 3379, is an elliptical galaxy 36.6 million light-years away in the equatorial constellation of Leo. It's the biggest elliptical galaxy in the Messier catalogue that is not in the Virgo cluster. It was discovered by Pierre Méchain in 1781, just a few days after he discovered the nearby galaxies Messier 95 and Messier 96. This galaxy is one of a few not object-verified by Messier so omitted in the editions of his Catalogue of his era. It was appended when Helen S. Hogg found a letter by Méchain locating and describing this object which matched those aspects under its first-published name, NGC 3379.

 

It has a morphological classification of E1, indicating a standard elliptical galaxy with a flattening of 10%. The major axis is aligned along a position angle of 71°. Isophotes of the galaxy are near perfect ellipses, twisting no more than 5° out of alignment, with changes in ellipticity of no more than 0.06. There is no fine structure apparent in the isophotes, such as ripples. Observation of giant stars in the halo indicate there are two general populations: a dominant metal-rich subpopulation and a weaker metal-poor group.

 

Messier 105 is known to have a supermassive black hole at its core whose mass is estimated to be between 1.4×108 and 2×108 M☉. The galaxy has a weak active galactic nucleus of the LINER type with a spectral class of L2/T2, meaning no broad Hα line and intermediate emission line ratios between a LINER and a H II region. The galaxy also contains a few young stars and stellar clusters, suggesting some elliptical galaxies still form new stars, but very slowly.

 

This galaxy, along with its companion the barred lenticular galaxy NGC 3384, is surrounded by an enormous ring of neutral hydrogen with a radius of 200 kiloparsecs (650 kilolight-years) and a mass of 1.8×109 M☉ where star formation has been detected. Messier 105 is one of several galaxies within the M96 Group (also known as the Leo I Group), a group of galaxies in the constellation Leo, the other Messier objects of which are M95 and M96.

The ZZII's structure comprises of spaceframe-type steel subframes mounted on a bespoke strengthened aluminium tub. These days, of course, it would be carbon fibre - at least in part - but this first appeared at the turn of the century, when CF was harder to come by, especially for a small tuning company.

 

The light frame wrapped in a fibreglass (GFRP) body, - if I remember correctly - means that the ZZII weighs just 1000kg. The weight, coupled with that tuned RB26 DETT, means that it produces 542bhp/tonne. How fast is that? The Bugatti Veyron produces 523bhp/tonne, so rest assured, it's pretty bloody fast.

I reused the S13 toe arms because they already had ES bushings but I had to use some spacers because the S14 bushings are wider.
