A superb image Mike of the queen of the southern galaxies. Its my favourite galaxy.
I like the colour balance you got with this galaxy which I think is a bit hard to achieve. My initial thought of the background though was it looked a bit brownish rather than your usual neutral grey. It may be hard to adjust and maintain the excellent colour balance of the galaxy though.
Did you take any Ha of it? You seemed to catch some of the Ha areas anyway. It does image quite well in Ha and enhances the core and Ha areas.
I'm amazed you get round stars like that, yet you setup each time newly and polar align. You have that procedure down pat.
Perhaps I gave up on using polar alignment scopes for our dim southern pole area too easily.
Greg.
