Sooooo, does all that translate to "nice image Mike" in forum reply
Seriously though, I was never really fussed with imaging NGC 247, like John Gleason said above I thought the galaxy was a bit Meah..but when I realised that I could frame it so with Burbidge's chain and that there was indeed plenty of detail to reveal inside NGC 247 and it all reminded me of a Battlestar being chased by Cylons, hey, I just had to have a go
Funnily enough.. there are a couple of other galaxies that I have been disinterested in imaging becasue I don't like how they look (
I know) namely NGC 613, 2442 and 1532..strange, dunno why
I think I have some sort of problem
...I may of course change my mind
Mike
