Named after its resemblance to the flowing dress of a spinning Spanish dancer, I have never imaged this beautiful galaxy in Dorado before... so it was a pleasant bonus and very cool to realise, after I had started this image, that there was in fact a supernova discovered in it on 11 Sept this year and it is still very bright! I thought the two stars very close to the nucleus, as I inspected the early Lum subs, looked too good to be a fluke, so I looked it up and voila! fancy that!
Although quite crap for the RGB, the seeing was good to excellent for much of the Lum soooo, mini data not withstanding, this has allowed some good detail to be revealed
(No deconvolution used)
All capture details under the image:
NGC 1566
Full Frame
The Supernova (only about 9 arc sec from the nucleus)
I'm quite happy with the result and it is now my second galaxy image with a supernova in it
so I hope you like it too
