NGC 7213 Seyfert Galaxy in Grus

Hi,

Just in after a session doing PEC training on the homemade GEM.
NGC 7213 is a Seyfert Galaxy which possibly has a supermassive black
hole at it's core.
I couldn't get over how bright the nucleus of this was on the live
preview.
Note the diffraction spike from nearby Alpha Grus (off frame top right).

Some details of the PEC session here on the homemade wormgear thread.
