Hi,
Just a quick shot of this Galaxy at the beginning of the week just before moon rise. Only could squeeze just over a hours worth before the moon got too high. Seeing was average/poor and transparency was also poor. Very hazy with some low cloud. Havn`t seen many images of this one so I had to give it a go! It`s quiet a pretty little spiral galaxy and it looks like the faint outer halo extends quiet a distance from the core. Would make a nice few hour target on a very clear still night!
Image is full size just cropped and is 14 x 5 min @ iso 800 with 20D and 8" newt.
Stacked in DSS and like always finished in PS CS.
cheers and thanks for having a squeez....
Gary
