NGC 1566 a Barred Spiral Galaxy in Dorado

Hello,

Here is a lovely looking galaxy; NGC 1566 a Barred Spiral Galaxy in Dorado, as recorded by the C9.25 at F6.3 with the ST7 CCD camera. After spending the evening chasing Minor Planet 2008 TT26, I only had time for 3 x 15 minute exposures before the twilight of dawn chased me indoors.

Magnitude: 10.30
Size: 8.5'x 6.2'

Thanks for looking!

Cheers

Dennis
