Well after having plenty of fun with the FSQ-16803 wide field rig of late, it was time to switch over and zoom in with the AG12-694 combo...after exactly a year since the last one, I decided to hit a galaxy again, yaaay!
This is NGC 45, a loose structured spiral galaxy 30 million light years away in Cetus, not imaged very often, very few examples can be found surprisingly but being so close to that bright star makes for a cool pairing and I was happy with how this came together in the end after two nights on its case.
Nice to be back in the higher resolution saddle again
