Description

NGC 891 is one of the galaxies, which is from our point of view seen completely from the side - flat. It is also called Spindle-Galaxy. Distance from Earth about 30 Mio LJ, magnitude 10.7.
Images were taken in November 2021 in Elsbach in my garden with my Explore Scientific APO 127/952 with an ASI 183MC and NINA as acquisition software.
This time it was processed in a different way - maybe the stars are better now...
