NGC1365 Spiral Galaxy in Fornax

[tim.anderson]

This image shows the barred spiral galaxy NGC1365 in the Fornax constellation. It was compiled from 110 two-minute frames captured with a Skywatcher Esprit 110mm refractor and an ASI2600MBPro camera and was processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop.

Nice one Tim!
Is this a cropped image? I’ve taken an image of the Fornax region and remember there were plenty of small galaxies in close proximity to this galaxy using my F5 10.
Either way a great capture of the barred spiral.
Well done.

Yes. It is a very tight crop. The larger image has twelve galaxies in it. I may post that image separately once I clean it up.

Nice image, Tim. Personally, I like this galaxy shown with the many others that are in close proximity. I look fwd to seeing that! Alex
