not particularly thrilled with this one but i thought i would post it anyway. NGC1365 along with the sombrero galaxy are, in my opinion, the two most beautiful galaxies. i will have another go next year when i have sorted out some issues i am currently having.
really ? i always find it quite a recognisable galaxy. 1097 is good too though, lovely core . might have a go at that one soon. my other project in the works might take over though, might spill over into a multi year project
that is an artefact of my seeing conditions. i actually took a lot of data for this but i had to chuck a whole lot out because it was simply not good enough. also mount screw ups in the middle of the night reduced the number of images. anyway, i think i am convinced now that i will move my scope, the darker skies don't compensate for the horrible seeing conditions.
Forgot to pass comment on this one Aidan, you may have been after a grander and perhaps a deeper result but it's a very solid image of 1365 and with believable colours. You will produce a purler next season I have no doubt
A very nice image Aidan and you can always add more data to it. We all keep our fingers crossed for a quick and successful worm block surgery on your mount
Thanks guys, I love this galaxy and just want to do it justice. But regardless if you are taking apod images of just starting out imaging m42, I will never get over the kick of collecting photons from these incredible objects.

....aaaand watching guide graphs from good mounts in good seeing....
i have to say that i am lucky enough to have my own observatory, a awesome telescope, great imaging gear and a top of the line mount. while issues can be frustrating i do try to keep things in perspective
