ngc 3621 in Hydra

I finally got some images from Wiruna after a long break, although there was a lot of fun and games getting things going--focuser wouldn't connect to computer, battery failure--but no problem is insoluble so I finally managed to get some reasonable data after thinking that I might have to spend the night drinking red wine.

There are not many images of this galaxy. It is quite a difficult object to process. Bringing out the faint halo while not blowing out the stars or brighter parts of the galaxy required some careful masking.
