I wasn't going out last night but decided it was too good to pass up, but the galaxy took an hour and half to clear the neighbours tree and then I messed up the initial framing so I felt a lot of time was wasted. I was attracted to the faint arms of this galaxy as its so delicate unlike M83 which has quite thick arms so that's why I imaged it. I don't think more detail can be extracted from the arms with what I have but your scope would gobble this up easily.

I use the same guidescope on my SCT which has a Fl of 2900mm. It works as long as there is absolutely no flexture and then it's easy. But it took six months of trial and error to get there.

Thanks Marc, I'll call it the Bolognese galaxy from now on in your honour.
