I am surprised that you can pick up so much.
I remember trying to take 3 minute shots with a DSLR, 5 years ago
& getting almost nothing showing up at all except a blurred nucleus.
Is it the best NGC 1365 ever posted on Iceinspace?
It's the best I can find with a quick search.
well done
cheers

Thanks Allan for the huge compliment but I reckon that would be a pretty big call. There are quite a few fine examples I can find here and I think each of them has their individual aspects which make them excellent in their own right. I am confident in thinking this is another image to add to the mix.
In regards to your comments about its dimness, I tend to agree. I found while the core is pretty bright the outer arms are very dim and require a lot of exposure time to give good definition to the detail.
