hi guys,

2 clear nights were granted recently and eneabled gathering some photons on an object I had on my to-do-list for a long while.
this nice interactive galaxy is a tough object - tougher than I thought, and the final result sure would proft from much more exposure time...if only the heavens would grant more clear skies...
so - here is what I have gotten so far.
maybe I'll get the chance to collect some more data soon.

all data is on the website - as usual:

full size:

Wonderful image Dietmar. The detail in the core is spectacular. Looking at the image it gives a feeling of a very small Galaxy just hanging in space.
Nice job on the processing. I wish I had half your processing skills.

A magnificent piece of work Dietz.:thumbsup: Have not seen this target before, must give it a go sometime. I enjoy the 3d appearance, like a whirlpool effect. Well done and thanks for sharing.

So that is what a 3D comma looks like up close. I wont bother to add any superlatives.

Hi Dietmar,

From one galaxy imaging nut to another, that is a truly wonderdful image.
There are dozens of galaxies in the background of the prime target.
The processing is awesome.
Well done, I will try emulate that with a wonderful southern hemisphere galaxy one day.
