when the rain comes, they come and hide.....

Greetings Ice in Spacers. Seeing as the North Island of Australia has had so much rain, it would be inevitable that it flowed down hill to the South Island. So last night we got a soaking, and yes, it is still as wet as an Otter's pocket.
Hence the re do of old photos.
You know this astro-photography thing , half of it is the capturing the photons. Then you have to learn a new language about darks and bias frames and such like. So I am learning this now, so forgive me if I use some old data.
Recently I learnt about layers and also star masking (in Star Tools) so naturally I am willing to give it a go on old data.
One question-see the red line , near the Spindle Galaxy- surely that's another galaxy?

Yes it is another lenticular galaxy with the oh-so-sexy name of MCG-1-26-21 aka PGC 29300.
