Hello Everyone!

This is my first image with the GSO RC8 well collimated. I was also quite lucky to get a good average seeing during the integration session and that of course contributed to a finer detail. I am satisfied and I hope you like it.

Comments and criticism always welcome!

Congrats! Looks like some Ha response too! Maybe clipped the black a bit hard as you may have a little extra in the spiral tips. Well done on a tough target!

A very pretty galaxy, Nicola.

Thanks cazza132, jenchris and RickS!

@cazza132: I had a look at the histogram, I can't see any clipping, or you just meant the background is too dark?

Very nice Nicola although I feel that you've pushed tha saturation just a little too much. The orange star to the right of the galaxy needs toning dowm.
