Ngc1365

I imaged NGC1365 earlier this year with a Tak BRC250.

I imaged it again the other night with a TEC180mm fluorite and a Tak 1.6X TOA extender giving F11.35 and 2016mm focal length. I was impressed with the extra performance and resolution this tak extender gave and it opens up better resolution and image scale for the TEC on typically small galaxy imaging.

I combined the 2 images together using Registar (what a fabulous program).

I have 2 versions - 1 is slightly wider field the other is cropped to highlight this wonderful southern galaxy.

NGC1365 LRGB 260 120 120 120 for 10 hours and 20 minutes total exposure time.
