NGC 4945 Tweezers Galaxy with 2600MC
My first image of this Barred Spiral Galaxy using my 2600MC cooled OSC. I’ve imaged it prior using my old DSLR but obviously not with the same results.Discovered by James Dunlop in 1826 at Parramatta in Sydney it’s located approx 12 million light years away from us. It’s also referred to as The Golden Coin Galaxy which I think is maybe more appropriate given its shape and colour
