Description

Sep 18, 2020 - NGC891

I was running out of ideas, because I was at a dark site I didn't want to capture a Narrowband object because I can easily do that from home, so one of the objects that was suggested to me a beautiful edge on galaxy (NGC891) and I was so happy that I captured it, it is amazing how much details that I managed to capture with only 30subs at 180sec using EdgeHD 9.25 with 0.7x reducer and ASI1600MC-Cool OSC.

For stacking and processing I mainly used PixInSight as well as Luminar4, I am getting some really good results with those two software.

If you look closer you will see at least six galaxies within that image which let you wonder if NGC891 is approximates 27.4 million LY away, then how far those tiny ones are? simply mind blowing.
