As usual I am using my modded Canon 550D DSLR with an IDAS LP2 filter and the APM 130mm APO on the NEQ6 Pro.

Feel free to comment/critique
Thanks for looking,

Nice image
Just a correction, NGC4945a is not a Supernova remnant but a galaxy behind a star.
there is a Supernova in NGC 4945, discovered late last year, SN 2011ja
See here for images .
