Description

My second attempt at a galaxy. I was using an Optolong L-enhance filter which has blocked out alot of the data from this galaxy. You can see the nebulosity but not the spiral arms so much, I need to add some broadband RGB subs to correct this. Taken with a 73mm refractor.

Astrofckup: it's grainy and noisy - i'm still learning how to get a clean stack of images from the QHY183C. But given it's over 11 million light years from earth I was happy to see some kind of detail in the final result.
