Ngc6746 & ngc5740

The near and the far. The bright blue foreground star is magnitude 3.7, 109 Virgo at 134 light years and the edge on galaxy on top is NGC5746 at around 90 million light years. NGC5740 is at the top right.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, full spectrum Canon 1100D, 1128 x 30 seconds unguided on a HEQ5 Pro. About 9.4 hours over 3 nights. Yes that is 1128 frames. Poor camera lol.
