Ngc 5247
Rarely imaged, NGC 5247 lies about 60 Mly distant in Virgo. It is a grand design galaxy, and not believed to have interacted with any other.
Shot over two nights last week for only 100 minutes of L, and 3hours RGB, half of which was spoiled by heavy dew and intermittent fog.
Only half of the RGB subs were unaffected, but I used them all anyway as loss of colour detail shouldn't matter too much as long as the L is clean.....
Probably several more hours would be nice on this but that is for next year.
24' x 22' FOV; 300mm RiDK; Moravian G4;ASA DDM85 unguided
