Shot last Friday, with clear skies, but only average seeing (2.5" - 3") and fairly windy. SQL only average at 21 maximum.



There is 3 hours of RGB data, hopefully to be added to in the next few weeks. Processed in PI; finished in PS.



300mm f/8 RiDK; G3-9000 camera (1"/px); ASA DDM85A unguided; Astrodon filters.



This splendid galaxy is about 30Mly away, 170kly across, and has its own LMC equivalent.

Geoff, Marc and M&T. Thanks for looking - glad this appealed.


I may get another 3+ hours next Friday. It might be interesting to see how much difference it makes.
