Total time 5 hour with Intes Micro at F8 focal 1600
Equatorial mount Bellincioni Omega
P.S. With the cold the grappa it is like water

Facinating little galaxy. Almost looks upside down to me.

Lots of detail and lovely colours but I would have expected the whole galaxy to be sharp at F8 ... seems to have a very narrow depth of field to it.
