I agree Col, I shot this galaxy back in 2013 at much wider FOV with the AG12 and 16803 chip but this latest effort has better resolution through twice as fine image scale

The guiding figures were remarkable, and imply pretty good seeing. The depth and colour are all your own!
Inspired by your image, 5084 is now on the "must do" list.

Thanks chook masters, bet that list is pretty long....

Thanks Marcus, I was happy with how this one came together, can't beat good seeing

As for the yellow core, well, prob just dealers choice I recon.. showing my Tony Hallas side

...Adam Blocks shot with the
Schulman 32" RC scope on 9000ft Mt Lemmon, is pretty yellow though

What is the galaxy name just below on the right hand side?
Is it a companion galaxy?
