Ngc 4549

I never knew that this galaxy existed till the other night While I was at Mapleton Observatory I was shown an image of it and urged to have a go at it myself. So here it is. Shot through moonshine.
30 minutes of 20 second subs @ ISO 800
8" newt
Canon 20d, ICNR on.
iOptron Mini Tower of Terror
Processed in CS3, crop, curves, levels and shadows/highlights.

I'll have another go in a couple of weeks. Dark skies will make a BIG difference.
