Description

Located in Sculptor, this galaxy is about 11 million light years distant.   This image is the result of processing with Pixinsight, the 2 hours of reduced data supplied by i Telescope.  Consists of 6 x 5 minutes shots each with L, R, G, B filters.   Imaged from New South Wales, Australia, at south 31 degrees.  Equipment:  20" Planewave, shot at f 4.5.   FLI-PL09000 CCD Camera.  Kept the background light, so as to not lose too many of the background galaxies.  Data from September, processed by me in early October.
