Quite a faint object. This is definitely a work in progress. I only managed 110 minutes of data before the clouds rolled in. Unfortunately I won't be able to get back to Wiruna for another month and by then the object will be too low to get much good data (transit at 4.30pm), so it's a wait until next year before adding to this one.

Looks like a very nice little galaxy, Geoff!

I like what you've got so far. It will worth the wait to hit it again next year.

Looks good to me Geoff, mini data is the new mega data remember :P :lol: Not imaged much this galaxy but I remember Rolf did a shot of this one (http://www.rolfolsenastrophotography.com/Astrophotography/Galaxies#!/i-4wSzZrW/O) 2 years ago too, with his tiny 10"..?

Lovely

Thanks Rick. I was a bit lucky to find this one--purely accidental browsing, but it looked to be worth a shot.



Thanks John. That's the beauty of digital imaging--time is no limitation.



Thanks Mike. Yes minidata is OK, but this is microdata--maybe microdata is the new minidata. I saw Rolf's shot--pretty spectacular.

Nice shot of a sweet little galaxy.
