Ngc 1269/1291

Finally managed a picture been a while.
This is NGC 1269 or also known as NGC 1291 (was Double cataloged).
A Ring Galaxy 33 million light-years away in the constellation Eridanus.

really struggled with gradients trying to stretch background to get detail while also trying to get a good blackpoint.

6.8 hours over 2 nights in LRGB could have done with more data to bring out those faint tiny dusty lanes.

Merry xmas all iceinspace peeps.
