Ngc 5102

Here's another one in the not often imaged category, the galaxy NGC 5102. I suspect people are put off by the close proximity to magnitude 2.7 Iota Centauri. I took an image of this some years back and it appeared relatively featureless but this time I was able to bring out subtle dust lanes. I'm told that deep Ha and OIII exposures of this thing are rewarding but I haven't had a chance to get that data yet.

Cheers

Steve
