Description

I had already tried this beautiful lenticular galaxy, located at 15 million light-years but I was not satisfied, the image showing many traces of dust not resorbed with flats.

This time there is an addition of new RGB images which I doubled the number of shots and I used the H-alpha filter, hoping to give more contrast.

Moreover, I wanted to make a large field allowing the Astrometry to point the two small galaxies 5090 and 5091.

The galaxy is small in the picture, it might be that I try a Drizzle3 with DSS.

Edit : Drizzle3 DSS done : http://astrob.in/307932/B/

Description: The dust disc of my Drizzle3 image looks better, so I incorporated it into this picture. I took the opportunity to remove the spikes.
