Hi All
I managed to get some clear weather that coincided with a night off to add some colour data to the Luminance that I took a month ago, this is NGC3628 which for some reason is also known as "Sarah's Galaxy" (haven't found out why by looking on the web yet), it is also referred to as the "Hamburger Galaxy" (I can see why it got that name).
I had a reasonable night for the luminance but there was faint mist last night when I did the colour data. This was taken with a Takahashi FSQ106ED and Starlight Xpress SXVF H9 on a Paramount ME with guiding done by a lodestar camera and OAG.
Exposures are 46x5 minutes for Lum and 18x5 minutes each for RGB. There are a few small faint fuzzies in the background as well.
I have tried this subject before a couple of times with limited success and these can be seen on the Galaxies page in the image gallery on my website

Thanks for looking
Best wishes and clear skies
