Hi,
Yesterday I tried my luck on the NGC 3516 a Seyfert galaxy. The difficult thing here was it is quite low in the North where I have some strong light pollution. It was just at 36.5° altitude and it is about 168 mly away. I made a total of 16 images with 300s exposure time.I realize that my telescope aperture with 130mm f5.34 is not enough for this magnitude.
The spectrum below is processed with 6X Binning. My redshift is about 0.008230 and according to ned/ipac page it is 2649 km/s. So calculating 0.008230 x 300.000 gives me a redshfit of 2469 km/s which is a difference of 7.3% ¿?
I did not response correct this spectrum. Next time when I get a better clear sky.
Ha @ 6616.820Å minus 6562.81 Å = 54.01 / 6562.81 = 0.0082297 x 300.000 = 2,468.9119 km/s
