Ngc1365

NGC 1365, also known as the Great Barred Spiral Galaxy, is a barred spiral galaxy about 56 million light-years away in the constellation Fornax. In February 2013, observations using the NuSTAR satellite have found that the central supermassive black hole of NGC 1365, measured to be about 2 million solar masses in mass, is spinning at almost the speed of light.

Started this project on November 12, with weather and smoke delaying the finish. Was so hot last night I could only get down to -8C at times.

GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, with a deforked Meade LX90 ACF 8" F10 SCT for the core, ZWO ASI183mm Pro at mostly -10C, about 13.9 hours of LRGB.
