Quite a faint object. This is definitely a work in progress. I only managed 110 minutes of data before the clouds rolled in. Unfortunately I won't be able to get back to Wiruna for another month and by then the object will be too low to get much good data (transit at 4.30pm), so it's a wait until next year before adding to this one.

Usual equipment---12.5" Planewave CDK, QSI 540wsg, AP900 mount.
Exposure L:R:G:B :: 4 x 10min:2 x 10 min: 3 x 10min: 2 x10 min.

Looks like a very nice little galaxy, Geoff!

I like what you've got so far. It will worth the wait to hit it again next year.

Looks good to me Geoff, mini data is the new mega data remember Not imaged much this galaxy but I remember Rolf did a shot of this one 2 years ago too, with his tiny 10"..?

Lovely

Thanks Rick. I was a bit lucky to find this one--purely accidental browsing, but it looked to be worth a shot.

Thanks John. That's the beauty of digital imaging--time is no limitation.

Thanks Mike. Yes minidata is OK, but this is microdata--maybe microdata is the new minidata. I saw Rolf's shot--pretty spectacular.

Nice shot of a sweet little galaxy.
