Messier 95 by the Bunyip

I had a couple of mostly clear nights last week and I finished collecting the data for this image. Messier 95 (NGC 3351) is a barred spiral galaxy and culminates at only 46 degrees altitude from my location, but it appears to have turned out quite well. I am also getting better at collimating my scope which helps

Image data taken with the "Bunyip 12.5" Newtonian Astrograph / STL11000M / Paramount ME - Lum-16x12m, R-8x12m, G-8x12m, B-8x12m
