Another of my recent galaxy images.

This one taken with the Tak BRC250 at F5 and Microline 8300.
Astronomik LRGB filters, Tak NJP mount.

LRGB 60 45 45 45.

An interesting galaxy with what seems to be a smaller galaxy embedded in it.

Thanks Peter. The seeing was particularly good as well. Best I can remember seeing for some time.

Fantastic! So much detail and clarity. Perfectly round stars.

I am very impressed to say the least.

Mate that's a really good galaxy image, NGC 1097 is a very interesing target too - nice.

You have the sky just right IMO, often guys show this way too black especially around galaxies but the sky just aint black, it's more very dark grey..like in this image!

Yes lovely image Greg!

Had the BRC dialed in nicely this night.

Processing looks spot on as well to me.

Good stuff !

All the best

Very nice. You can even see some other real small galaxies in the background and it looks like there maybe something extending from the galaxy structure to the bottom right corner of it . Top shot. Crisp as.
