Description

One of my favourite galaxies in the 25" is NGC2442. The main arm is quite distinctive, making it a striking galaxy to observe. I had imaged it previously in the 8" f4 Quattro scope and was very happy with the results. Now with the Meade LX200 10" I wanted to try the galaxy again with a little more focal length. The galaxy didn't disappoint.The image was shot with the LX200 10" scope on the NEQ-6 mount with the camera was the ZWO ASI2600MC. The gear was controlled by the ASIAIR Plus including the guiding. A total of 60 light frames of 300s each with 30 Bias, 30 flats, and 10 Darks. The processing was done in Pixinsight and Photoshop.
