Description

This galaxy is low on the horizon through the winter where I live, so it's been a tough one to image, given the bad stretch of weather. I finally got it last night with the 8" SCT.

Taken on 12/20/2017 from my home, using a Baader modified Canon 450D, 8" Celestron SCT, f6.3 reducer, and guiding on an AVX mount. 2 hours, 12 minutes of 3-minute subs, ISO1600, stacked in DSS and cleaned up in Photoshop.
