Barred Spiral NGC 7184

[furgle]

I love the idea that these photons traveled for 114 million years, just to land on my tiny CCD chip.


Numerous background galaxies are visible, and I am quite happy with their colour showing through.

An interesting looking galaxy Adam. The detail looks good, you have gleaned a fair bit.

Thanks for posting that one Adam. Off the beaten track. A lovely result.

Great work.... the colours have come through well....

Great work Adam. Exceptional detail.
The photons have come a long way almost unperturbed until a nanosecond or two through the Earth’s atmosphere. How annoying is that?

Lovely galaxy. Makes me want to galaxy hunt more...
