Description

This great galaxy is a bright and popular imaging target. Never-the-less, I've always found it difficult to process. I think I've finally pleased myself with this one. I had exceptional skies this weekend at my dark sky site, and I think that had as much to do with it as anything else!

I was using the new Paramount MyT (field testing it anyway). 5 minute unguided subs, with dithering done between exposures via a custom script.
