Here is the second Set of images I took last night of the Spanish Dancer or NGC1566,

I processed this one twice so you can see the faint outer parts and then also a wider angle with 2 very faint galaxies.

All stacked and aligned in photoshop, though for this image I subtracted the gradient from it as it was really noticeable. These also still have a bit of noise from the processing so next time I might take a lot more lights.

Both shots Are from the same exposures,

24 x 1 Minute exposure
Iso 1600

Very nice Vash, you have captured some great detail in the spiral arms.

A fine effort.
