Ngc1316

I was inspired by the image that Shiraz (Ray) posted of NGC1365 just recently to see if I was able to get some of the very faint detail that he managed on this object from BrisVegas.
I started out with 5 min subs and then went to 10 min subs for a total of 2+ hours Luminance, but it looks as if I have to go back to at least 20min subs to extract the very faint detail of these interacting galaxies. In the original Im just beginning to see hints of the very faint outer arms wrapping round these merging objects and I would love to go deep on this interesting area.
The cores have shown some nice detail but its the faint stuff I want.
Comments welcomed.
Imaged with 10"SCT with f6.3 FR.
