Description

When processing this image i needed to cull from 350 down to 144 images as the tracking was moving around a fair bit. So this image didn't come out as I wished however it struck me as a very similar using "Zamar" visually. With the concentrated stella like core ,multiple H2 star forming regions in it's beautiful spiral arm structure leading out to a hint of its outer halo, the Southern Pinwheel sits nicely in a 12mm Type 5 Naglers field of view.
