Another NGC4945 (Cropped) - Side-on Galaxy

The first half of Sat night (in Canberra) was terrific without the moon so I gave NGC4945 a crack after being inspired by Dave882's excellent recent imagine of same (https://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/...d.php?t=198187). Took two hours of subs and culled 10 mins of it. My mount (AZ-EQ6) guided nicely for most of the session then nose dived as the seeing slowly deteriorated. Also played with the Ekos/INDI polar alignment tool in lieu of using my Polemaster (... with roughly the same outcome for each).

SW120ED with reducer/flattener @f6.4
ASI294MC, ASI290mm with Orion guidescope
22 x 300sec subs

Edited in APP, Photoshop and Topaz DeNoise, then cropped. Perhaps a tad too much DeNoise sharpening/enhacement on the galaxy.
