Description

Object type : spiral galaxy
Distance : 2.7 million lightyears
Diameter : 60,000 lightyears
Starcount 40 billion

Shooted for 3 hours of exposures. Had many difficulties with light polution, but managed it to get this result. Not happy, but also not unhappy. There is much to improve. But that's what makes this hobby so interresting. I cropped this image a bit to get more of the  galaxy.

Update 31.12.2021 : Added 1 hour data with the Optolong L-pro filter.
