Galaxy NGC 7125
Hi all,
This image looks quite old school compared to the stuff being cranked out these days by others, but it's what I have. Probably should have done some colour filter frames.
Taken with my relatively new ST8XME (earlier this year) it's one of the few photo's I've taken with the camera that is vaguely "pretty picture" orientated. It's almost only worked on supernovas, occultations and a few other things.
My system didn't used to be at f/10 but the larger size of the ST8 (compared to my ST7) has forced me down that route. It also is arguable that f/10 binned 2x2 suits my small galaxy photography better anyhow. The field is relatively flat and undistorted.
