The main galaxy is an interesting one, that's for sure!
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....

Just a question Mike (!!), is the central portion supposed to be that yellow, or is that artistic license? None of the renditions I've seen show a vibrant yellow core.
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

that's a rare one that I haven't seen before.

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