Decided to capture this nice little galaxy last night. I encountered some problems with auto-guiding which resulted in me loosing 8 x 5 minute subs due to guiding errors. :sadeyes:

Anyway, I got the guiding fixed and working properly allowing me to continue the imaging session. :)

Details:

Celestron C8 SCT f/6.3 on EQ6 Pro
Guided with DMK 21 and PHD
Canon 450D
12 x 5 minute subs, ISO 800
ICNR Darks, Fully calibrated
Stacked in DSS and processed in PS CS3

Please let me know what you think. :)

Enjoy. :thumbsup:

Very nice Matt. The galaxy is nicely resolved right out to the outer arms.
Well done.

Nice piccie, Matt. Background could be a little darker and a little less red, but other than that, it's a great shot. Guiding was good.
