Ok probably not a good idea to post this after Peter's effort

Here's my first image of NGC4945, "presented looking like a fly spec on a sheet of A4".

This was captured on the 4th or 5th of March, I can't remember - it's all a blur from the clear skies and sleepless nights I had back then.

I don't have the exposure details on me, they're on the other laptop - i'm pretty sure it was around 12 exposures @ 4 minutes each, ISO800. ICNR and flats applied.

Diffraction spikes created from 2 pieces of wire.. probably not the best choice due to the rainbow colours it produced. It was an interesting experiment, but not something i'll use on every image.

Unmodded 350D + ED80, autoguided with DMK/PHD.

1200px wide, less compressed version:

NGC4945

Thanks for looking.
