Hi
I don't normally do galaxies especially the smaller ones as I use a short focal length and large chip sensor and because of light pollution but occasionally when the conditions are right and there are no narrow band targets I will have a go at some LRGB. I've always wanted to have a go at this subject and with the system that I am currently using having the optimum field I thought I'd give it a go. This was taken with the Televue NP127is/FLI system that I've been testing on my Paramount ME auto guided by an Officine Stellare and Lodestar and it consists of 30x10 minutes luminance and 12x10 minutes each of RGB, it was taken over a period of several weeks due to weather, moon and work but I think the end result was worth it. I haven't inserted an image as I don't feel the small size portrays the field properly so I have inserted a link to the full size image below. My only regret is that I could have framed it a bit better to include the two nice galaxies in the top left of the image instead of cutting them in half, oh well, next time round maybe.

Thanks for looking
