Description

Due to a lack of data over recent days because of the weather, I decided to try and process the kindly provided free data from Astrobin's data pool. The data for this was provided by rmuhlack, which I am grateful for, at https://www.astrobin.com/rawdata/publicdatapools/21/

Telescope: Vixen VC200L with f6.4 reducer

Camera: DIY modded Canon 1000D with regulated peltier cooling @ 10C

Guiding: Lacerta OAG with QHY5L-II

Mount: Skywatcher NEQ6

Exposure details: 305 x 10mins @ ISO1600

There are some very faint arms shooting out from the galaxy, but I did not want to sacrifice the image to further noise in order to reveal them. This is the best I can do...
