Ngc 5236

[beren]

Gday took this image of NGC 5236 last Saturday, had a great night which started off with showing my young niece and nephew some sights {love it when my wife surprises me with babysitting duties :P}. Was pleasantly surprised I managed to hold their attention for some time and away from the game consoles :lol:
Image was taken with a Celestron C9.25 and SBIG ST4000xcm using a 6.3 reducer and self guiding utilised. 15x10min lights, 30 darks, 15 flats with the camera set at -25c. Cheers for looking :thumbsup:

Very nice work Stuart! Haven't seen anything from you in ages - a refreshing change!

Nice extensions to this galaxy Stuart. Details look great, but perhaps an ever so slight magenta cast giving a warm feeling to the image. I don't think I'd alter it however as it does give the HII regions some punch. Well done.

Very nice image, thanks for the view. All the best.

well done, this is becoming a popular target - like the image even though it is a tad purple - must have been the kids ;). the detail is fantastic!

That's a beautiful shot. Great details and very well defined spiral arms. Top work. :thumbsup:

Great to see some more imaging from you Stuart.

What a lovely shot this is and I agree with Jase, leave it as is, it has a really nice feel to it.
Excellent detail in there mate, the C9.25 is showing off. ;)

Very nice galaxy Stuart. The JPG artifacts are a bother though.
