Great shot Eric,

Thats my favourite galaxy.

[Striker]

Great result Eric.

What the reason do you use 84 second exposures..I think all of them have been 84 seconds....just curious on the time...do you find any longer your getting stars trailing...??

Cracker of an image Eric - well done! What will you do once you have exhausted the NGC catalogue?

Cheers

Nice One Eric

A little blue perhaps, ... just to be picky.

Cheers

Many thanks for you reply guys. It is a bit bluish :P



Thanks Tony. I use to take 2 minute exposure shots but can't seem to see any difference from it. So i tend to stick to shorter exposure times. Longest without star trials will be around the 2 minute 46 second mark.

Cheers mate.

Hi Ezy ran your fine pic through GradientXterminator. Did not adjust anything else, You might want to try it yourself.
