Description

NGC 2835 is a face on intermediate spiral galaxy located in the constellation Hydra, so in the southern hemisphere. It is located at a distance of circa 35 million light years from Earth, which, given its apparent dimensions, means that NGC 2835 is about 65,000 light years across. In the centre of NGC 2835 lies a supermassive black hole.

The blue shine down to the left is not a gradient but the halo from the mag 7 star HD80429, so I left it in.

Since I have no astro darkness at my own obsy I take the opportunity to process some sothern hemisphere data. This is LRGB data from Telescope Live at the El Sauce hosting facility at 1500m elevation in Río Hurtado, Coquimbo Region, Chile. RGB data is 20 x 10 min for each channel. Lum is 30 x 10 min, so quite a lot of integration time with this big scope.
