... you have nailed the colour IMHO. Plus there is delightful fine structure revealed within the galaxy itself.
This is a hard galaxy to do really well....but I think you've done that here.
Nice one  |
Agreed!

The interesting thing is that the seeing wasn't all that good--high 2's to low 3's.

We've been having the same problem, but worse, with our NGC 1532, with about 1/3 of the image wrecked by reflections from upsilon 4 eridani. We recall that Marc Aragnou used to tackle this problem in other scopes using special black velvet flocking on the inside of the tube. Might be worth investigating. Velvet is shiny in one direction, and utterly black in the other.
