A deeper, cleaner IC 5332 - 34 hours at the helm.

We previously posted an image of IC 5332 in Sculptor, a ridiculously low surface brightness face-on spiral, very tightly wound, neat and tidy, not interacting or messing about with others, just pristine and pure. But we had not so much data, and the stars looked a bit funky.

We've now got a total of 34 hours of data, including 22.5 hours of Lum and 11.5 hours total of RGB, which enabled better statistical artifact rejection.

The picture looks much the same as before, just cleaner. Big one here.

For those who haven't seen it before, there are a lot of galaxies in the background, several of whom are showing strong interaction.
