Ngc 2997

This face on Spiral Galaxy is located in the constellation Antlia, it's about 30 million light years from us. I captured it very early this morning from my front yard under a very warm night and light polluted sky.

I used a modded Canon 550d DSLR with a UV/IR cut filter connected to a 8 inch f5 Newtonian. 25 x 2min unguided subs at 800iso on an HEQ5pro mount.
