Description

Image was produced from 3226 10-second subs taken over four nights with a ZWO Seestar S50 smart telescope. (50mm aperture, 250mm focal length). The Seestar automatically subtracts a master dark from each image. No other calibration frames were used. Stacked and processed in Siril and sharpened in AstroSharp.

This was a difficult target. While the galaxy is intrinsically bright, it is obscured by dust clouds in the Milky Way. Despite having a fairly large amount of data the image is still quite noisy.
