2nd Attempt at a galaxy (NGC 4945)

Last week was my best polar alignment so far, got under 1 arc min with guiding. I also changed from ST-4 port guiding to Ascom guiding which seemed to make a big difference.
I spent some time on 2 objects. Redone Omega Cent and NGC 4945.

1 min subs x 20 light
1 min subs x 20 dark

Used DSS and Lightroom 6.

On Nikon D7100 DSLR, used DSS and lightroom 6. HEQ5 EQMOD GSO 6".
Still working on Omega Cent, but still need more data. Next time I might try 2 min subs at ISO 1600 and try and get good flats.
