Ngc1365

Last one for a while folks, the weather has turned. I suppose though I should be thankful, we had three or four decent nights up until last night.
Anyway, following on from the Helix and NGC253, I tried Lee's suggestion of NGC1365, and while it is dim, and difficult, I am reasonably happy so far. This is 9 shots, each 600 seconds, so 1.5 hours worth, using the same gear as the other shots.
I plan on re-visiting this if and when the weather clears and getting a few more hours in.
Interestingly, I trialed the FocusMax software on this shot (and a quick NGC253 shot while waiting for this one to clear an obstruction). Both are as good as I have ever produced focusing manually.
