NGC1365, NGC1097, NGC1566 from last night

I set the 10" up last night with the intention of getting some images of Saturn and decided to fill the time before Saturn appeared by imaging some interesting galaxies. Being so close to Brisbane there was quite a bit of sky glow to deal with but I'm quite happy with the results.

Unfortunately when Saturn finally appeared so did the clouds and judging by the weather forecast it looks like it will be the new year before I'm going to get another try.

All images are 50x1 min subs using the 10" Newt guided on the EQ6 and the DSI II pro.

As always there's still a lot to learn - comments welcome. Thanks for looking (and for the company Allan).
