Stumbled upon this guy last night. He's quite a nice galaxy, especially from the colour images I see around.
I am happy with the result considering the gusting wind that was around all night (gusts up to 45km/hr), but am not pleased with the level of faint detail achieved. I was hoping for more of the distant spiral arms to show up in the 20 minute exposures but they're simply washed out with light pollution. I think another 10 x 1200 second exposures would allow me to get more detail from the outer arms.
Enjoy! :thumbsup:
