Description

I had a break in the weather and I managed to image this amazing galaxy. I have not imaged this for a while, but I am pleased to have had the opportunity. I took 105 luminances, 15 reds, 14 greens and 15 blues. I would have like to have had some more colour for this, but it was fine using what I had. I really like using my small scope - no balance issues - no funny shaped stars - and barely any subs to throw away. Each sub was 3 minutes in legnth and this amounts to an imaging time of 7 hours and 27 minutes. Take care all of you...
