NGC 3359 a faint galaxy in UMA

First light for the SX-AO-LF, the active optics I've just finished testing. After some initial problems I managed to run the first subject. I chose like subject a faint galaxy in UMA, there's a few picture on the web.I wanted to see if there really are benefits of using the AO. Focal full of GSO RC 10 "to 2000mm:

For the first time I had stable FWHM around 2.3 ".

I founded a pair of faint arms that are not reported in other pictures from the web.

Thanks for looking.

Ciao,
Leo
