Description

M74 spiral face-on galaxy in Pisces, spectacular.

As this is supposedly a hard low surface brightness object, I planned 50% more exposure as is my standard for galaxies, so this is 204x4min, imaged from September to November 2021.

The data is not good enough for full resolution 0,83"/px, so this is resized to 70%, around 1,2"/px.
Still, much better result than I expected!
