A try on NGC1365

I love galaxies and of course who doesn't like NGC1365? So last night managed a decent run on it. Total of 5x300s subs through each of Astronomik LRGB filters on Atik One 6.0 camera and Stellarvue SV102T-IS scope on Orion Atlas EQ-G mount. Off axis guiding using Atik GP camera and PHD. Image acquisition via SGP.
Processed in Pixinsight up to creating individual calibrated and registered frames for each channel and then constructed final image in PS CC 2015 with lotsa playing with curves and levels.
I have also included a crop of the central target. Uncropped version has an issue on the right side but reluctant to crop it out as there are some nice little galaxies there.
