hi Eric,

this guy really looks pretty much like the northern sun flower!
very nice image!
let me encourage yopu to go back to that one and add more exposure time, it would bring out the fainter regions even better...(-:

What a fascinating galaxy, it does resemble the Sunflower galaxy and a very nice image as well.

I have to put this on my list of thing to observe and possibly image.

Cheers

Thanks Dietz and Ric. Yes longer exposure time will definitely capture more detail but not from where iam from my light pollution and summer down here also will increase in noise. around 16-19 degrees ambient at 12am.
