Ngc2997

Another galaxy from early last night - 27x2mins using the DSI II pro / ED80. I had a few challenges taking this one including banks of cloud rolling through early in the evening and Qantas flight 636 flying past my guide star.

This one looked good in the DSS image but turned out to be quite faint compared to most of the other candidates I've considered and would have been better with the 10" newt rather than the ED80.

Comments welcome
