Love the spiral arms flying out. So delicate. Your setup and location has proven again to reveal faint detail.

Good one. That must be about your longest ever exposure.

Is this the start of patient Mike?

Thanks Greg, yeah it's a really cool looking galaxy, different

While none are in the Rolf or AstroBin group effort class, that abound these days, I've done a few exposures around this length now, my M83 from last year was the same exposure time and my longest exposure ever was 52.5hrs over 10 days on Cen A with the FSQ106 back in 2019.

But yes, the site is good and Mike can be more patient these days
