A nice low surface brightness galaxy in Pavo.

10.5 hours data acquisition.

Nice rendition Stuart! Seems like this one needs a lot of time.

This is nice work Stuart and deserves to be back on the front page. Tough object.

Holy shirt! Thanks for sharing, it's glorious. Distant galaxies never cease to take my breathe away.

Yeah great result Stuart with plenty of fidelity. In this day and age of anti noise paranoia it is nice to see an imager not scared to post an image that is not smooth as plastic :thumbsup:

Thanks Paul, that's a very nice thing to say.



Thanks Mike, you know what it's like with faint objects, noise is everywhere, it's part of the image. I don't have a Hubble, I image in suburban Melbourne, I have noise.

Cheers

:thumbsup: That galaxy is a beauty and very nicely captured, I have the same camera so it's good to see what others are producing with theirs :)

Fantastic picture - well done.

A lovely rendition of this beautiful galaxy. Very delicate and some nice subtle Ha sections.

Lovely star field as well which can be difficult to render nicely.
