An hour's imaging of this pretty spiral galaxy in Dorado. Taken at the end of the imaging sessions that gave me my Horsehead (http://www.pbase.com/andycasely/image/162238759) picture, when gibbous moonrise illuminated some thin clouds in otherwise good skies.

Not really intended to be a great image, with only 12 moonlit 5-minute frames, but I thought I'd share it anyway! If nothing else, I'm happy with the new scope's working on the mount :)
