Wonderfull shot John. Great color balance. Is this from your back yard in Brisbane burbs or dark sky ?

Beautiful work, John.

I'd love a long focal length system to tackle this one, one day. :)

Cheers, for the inspiration.

Astronomical John, Really dig the scale you have on this, lots of faint extensions along with a few distant galaxy's in the back ground, well captured !

[Peter.M]

At the moment your work is something I aspire to. I look forward to your next piece.

[Brundah1]

You are an inspiration.:thumbsup:

[strongmanmike]

Ah huh! you have discovered our southern gem of a galaxy 1365.

My favourite galaxy!

A worthy effort indeed :thumbsup:

The only thing I would perhaps tweak is the cyan in the arms and the magenta in the bar :confuse3:

Top shot John. A real stunner.

[John Hothersall]

Thanks for the comments everyone, this is an amazing galaxy and nice and big. The image does have some noise in the galaxy and probably needs a bit of tweeking but I am pleased to have got this one as it sits right next to Fornax A.

I have had a good Winter and have enjoyed Sculpture and Fornax imaging no end as well as Sag nebula and clusters.

John.

Lovely capture John, this one is quite a spectacular galaxy to capture.

[SkyViking]

That's a great image John, with lots of interesting detail as usual. I'd like to image this galaxy as well, but it's too big for my tiny chip, lol :P
Thanks for the view.

[renormalised]

Nicely done, John:). It's a very handsome galaxy:)

[iceman]
