After looking at Barry's excellent NGC 1291 image I decided to coax out some more detail of this difficult object.

That's a lot of shape and detail for such a dim Galaxy. Awesome!

A very interesting galaxy and nicely captured.

Thanks for the comments.

An early image where I hadn't mastered star colours yet.

There is a fainter outer ring visible on the left hand side of the galaxy.

Very nice Steve. Must be a faint little sucker if this is 4hrs worth of exposure.
Great job as usual Steve

Well done.
