Ngc 1300

Nice barred spiral in Eridanus.
Scope: 110mm APO (William Optics)

Camera: QSI540wsg
Mount: GM8
4 x 5 min RGB, 6 x 5 min L
Fields: 30' x 30' and 60' x 60'

There is some flare from an out of field star, but Marc thinks that flocking the dew shield will cut out that sort of thing. See the thread here. The cropped image gets rid of most of this, but unfortunately cuts out the galaxy NGC 1297 just to the north.
