NGC 5907 is one of the most impressive edge-on spiral galaxies in the night sky. It is a marvel in my 18-inch Dobsonian under a dark sky but proved to be a real challenge during this drawing made with a 110mm Refractor from the semi-dark sky at Alpha Ridge Park.
This galaxy goes by a couple common names all of which tries to capture its needle-like appearance. Take your pick – Splinter Galaxy, Knife-edge Galaxy or Cat Scratch Galaxy – they all reflect on the visual presence of the galaxy in the eyepiece.
In the small refractor only the bright northeastern edge of the galaxy’s core could be seen at a magnification of 59x (the power used for the drawing circle). It took some additional effort at a higher magnification of 171x to tease out the needle-like extensions on either side of the brighter core. Therefore, the drawing represents the field of view at 58x, but the galaxy’s details at 171x.

" The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook." ~ William James
Lassù, dove il mirto contende le radure al rododendro e il larice ascolta l'eco di valli lontane, il cielo decise un giorno di adagarsi a contemplare le vette innevate. Se ne innamorò. E fu così che lasciò infiniti frammenti di sè sparsi sulla catena montuosa più affascinante del mondo: il Lagorai.
Schegge di cielo sulla terra.
While hiking with my friend Bekki in Colorado, we happened upon the remains of a homestead or maybe a hunter's shack. It was up in the mountains and looks like it was nestled against a huge rock, most likely to protect it from the elements. I'm not sure how all that worked out considering all that was left were splinters scattered about. Still, if I was going to camp, that is where I would set up if for no other reason than the view.
This image was taken in JPG using only the settings in my camera, there was no post-processing or editing.

Rarely do I comment about a model, but she really clicked with my lens, or maybe it was me? :)

Although most skin splinters consist of wood, their appearances are variable.

This is a set of computer renders done to illustrate what the Splinter will look like when completed. We make no promises however, and being as the car is not completed, changes may arise.
