Description

NGC 925 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation Triangulum. Its about 30 million light years away and is around 86,000 light years across. I noticed from other imagers that it didn't provide much detail and was usually imaged with larger scopes than my 8" . So, I decided I needed at least 12 hours of collecting data and would have to crop it. That was last November and in reviewing my 'unfinished' images I decided I had too much waiting and based on my age, many might never get processed. So, I took the 6 hours or so that I had and did my best to process it. I had to crop it like I thought but it turned out much better than I thought it would.
