Managed to grab NGC2997 from Saturday night. Some issues with filter reflections and would have liked extra signal to make my processing life easier :) but its the best version of have managed of this galaxy to date.

Not bad Ted, not bad at all. It's a hard galaxy to process actually but you have done a fine job :thumbsup:

Thanks guys for the comments. Agree it is deceptively more difficult object than you first think.

A very nice image. Love the stars. The core area may be tamed a bit further with shadows/highlights tool in Photoshop. May be worth a try.

Thanks Greg, the core is quite stubborn but have marginally improved the burn out zone.
