NGC 4536 Spiral Galaxy

Hi All,

I captured this one at the South pacific Star Party in May this year.
I have only just got around to processing it and pleased with the result.
Surface brightness is only 13.8 magnitude.

I could not identify the NGC number initially because I failed to make note of it during capture, rather embaressing. I suspected it was in the NGC 4000 range and upon searching various sites identified it as NGC 4536.

A bit of an oddball warped shape in the star forming blue spiral arms.

Image capture details are noted below the image.
