The Chart 32 team recently released an absolutely amaaaazing image of NGC 1433 in Horologium

...so having recently shot this galaxy myself in what I would consider pretty good Aussie conditions ie. 600m ASL, ~1.5"-2.2" seeing 10kms from the edge of a 390,000 pop city... well, you know me

...I thought, hey, why not do one of those side by sides everyone loves me doing

to see what I managed to capture in comparison
Clearly, I want darker skies, 3X the aperture, 4X the altitude and sub arc sec seeing

....

but hey, still, I can see lots of what they captured...so, I'll take it

Sheesh!! how much is in the background of that big baby!..it's bloody well Hubble like

Bit of fun
