NGC7090 Galaxy in Indus

NGC7090 is quite a beautiful spiral galaxy in Indus, viewed edge-on. It's pretty small but positioned nicely for us southerners, approx 31My away and mag 10.5. There's lovely colour to be captured with this one, with Ha regions through the core and lots of young hot stars in the outer regions. There's also some beautiful intricate dusty patterns scattered throughout.

I've managed to capture 4hrs over 2 nights - the first night was very good seeing, APP reporting FWHM of about 1.5. Unfortunately my attempts for some more data could not match the same quality the next night, so although the noise level has come down I didn't manage to pull any further detail. Stars went a bit crazy combining the 2 nights data of very different quality too... Alas, the weather is closing in on us so that'll probably have to do it for 2022 on this one.

Not many images of this galaxy on these forums, so thought i'd contribute my efforts.

120x 120sec subs (no moon)

Here's a larger version too.


Comments and critique welcome.
Thanks for looking!
