Little pinwheel galaxy NGC1232

This little pinwheel galaxy reminds me of the larger M83. It really needs a bigger scope, but I thought it was cute so shooted it anyway.

Just over 5.5 hours taken over 4 nights with the ED100 pointed out the window. 5 and 3 minute subs, ISO from 800 - 1600, Pentax K-5, HEQ5 pro, some manual guiding and some with PHD2.

Full frame here. ---> http://astrob.in/121421/0/

Nice photo Kevin.

There is good detail and I like the wide composition

But.......where's the comet!

Yeah I know. I couldn't even dig up any asteroids in the field at the time of shooting. I'll try harder next time.
