Not the most interesting of galaxies or regions, it could probably do with a longer focal length instrument and potentially a less starry field but it does contain some dusty patches to which adds a little more interest.

What we like the most is the face-on spiral at the edge toward 4 o'clock.

The star colours are great.

That's a lovely star field. Very clear and transparent and the star colours look great.

Thanks M&T, I tend to agree with you. The main galaxy isn’t as interesting as the other spiral or face spiral that you mention. From other images I’ve seen of it I think it would really benefit from a setup light yours to bring out the detail and isolate it from the rest of the star field.



Thanks Greg, there is a lot of stars but they’re a little distracting from the galaxies. Maybe I should do some star removal :lol:

What Greg said, Col...enjoyed looking around this one, how's that red star on the right going? :thumbsup:

Thanks Mike :)
Do you mean the split in half star on the left?



Thanks Marc :)
I suppose there is only so much I should expect at 600mm focal length :lol:
