Another beautiful spiral galaxy NGC1566

This was taken over 2 nights last week during the heat wave. The Planewave temperature sensors said it was 31.5C at 1am in the morning.

It seems the seeing was quite good though.

I also had a fan going on the floor of the observatory. Perhaps it helps as I have read it is supposed to reduce star sizes.

Taken at my home observatory.
