NGC-1808 starburst galaxy

NGC1808 is starburst galaxy 40 Million light years away in the constellation Columba, it measures 6 x 4 arcmins and it is magnitude 10.8.
Would be a good object for longer focal lengths, my 200mm F5 is a bit short to get any decent detail.

We have here 61x5min subs, taken with a QHY12 OSC, processed in Startools, a bit noisy but I was shooting right over the top of Brisbane light pollution which didn't help.

Cheers
Bill
