Mag Wheel Galaxy NGC 1269.

Hi,

I've imaged NGC 1269 before and thought I'd try using ISO 6400 as it seems to help with colour intensity.

Well, it didn't.

This is the most colourless galaxy I've imaged!
A good challenge for those with better equipment.

8" F/4 astrograph HEQ pro 5 mount. Orion mini guider.

Unmodded canon 1100D, baader type III coma corrector.

17 x 2 minute subs ISO 6400 and 6 x 5 minute ISO 1600. Stacked in DSS, processed in PS Cs2.
Image cropped.
Cheers,

Justin.
