NGC2997 Galaxy
Here we have NGC2997, a Magnitude 10 face on spiral galaxy approx 9x7 arcmins in size and 25 Million Light years from my place.
According to Wiki, NGC2997 is particularly notable for a nucleus surrounded by a chain of hot giant clouds of ionized hydrogen.
Taken with my 8in F5 scope and QHY12 colour camera, approx 11 hours of exposure time spread over 3 nights.
Cheers
Bill
