Description

The great Barred Spiral Galaxy (NGC 1365) lies at a distance of about 56,000,000 light-years from our Sun in the constellation Fornax. It's a double barred galaxy and is one of the largest known to astronomers, about 200,000 light-years across. Astronomers think that the Milky Way may look very similar to this galaxy, but at only half it's size! 
This data came from Telescope Live's Planewave CDK24/FLI ProLine PL9000 at El Sauce Observatory, Chile.  This is 13 subs each LRGB @600s.
I'm still trying to get this right....it's only about my 20th reprocess of this data! 
Anyway, hope ya like this try!
Tom
