Hi

got another two good nights - the waning moon was up for some of the time, but there was very little haze, so the data was still usable, although not real deep. The seeing was pretty flash for part of it and the stacked image was well under 2 arcsec FWHM after mild deconvolution. Again used 2x2 for the colour and concentrated on getting more blue than previously.

This is quite an attractive galaxy with strings of star formation regions along the inner arms and a huge faint outer arm. It is apparently one of the Seyferts, with a strongly radiating accretion region around the central black hole.

Thanks for looking. Regards Ray
