Face On Spiral Galaxy NGC 2997

Hi All

Imaged at the South Pacific Star Party, “Wiruna” Ilford NSW Australia in April 2008. Celestron GPS11, EQ Wedge, f3.3. Meade DSIc. 30x 30 seconds exposures (15 minutes). Processed in Photoshop.

A magnitude 10.1 Spiral galaxy inclined 45 degrees to our line of sight. About 24.8 million light years distant located in the constellation Antilia.
