Fine details revealed in NGC 1365

Once again I tweeked my Image of NGC 1365 to get every last bit of detail I could out of this 1300mm FL 6" scope data given the prevailing conditions at the time (reasonably good seeing). Zooming right into the core and by placing the result next to an image by the 8m VLT telescope at Paranal you can better visualise the fine details and even find several faint background galaxies visible through the arms of NGC 1365!

Can you find them?

More fun with old data. Don't put your data in a locked cupboard, you never know what you might be able to do with it later

Mike
