Ngc 7184

This galaxy is NGC 7184, a fascinating galaxy and incredibly rich field of faint fuzzies. this was a super quick image taken while testing out my new observatory location with 20mins per RGB channel and 3 hrs of Lum. the lack of colour data really threw me, i had to play around with i a lot just to get a decent image out and it made the colour balancing particularly difficult. this is probably too faint a galaxy to have such little data but it is all i could manage on the night. i was really happy with the quality of the seeing (FWHM in the low 2" and possibly in the 1's) though poor collimation is masking the sites true potential. i am happy with how this turned out given the limited running and that it was a set up and tear down in a single night.
