Description

This at F6 and 780mm with straight flatenner on my APM130 really needs at least a doubling in the integration time, but have just received new larger Riccardi 0.75x reducer so am setting that up and more time here will need to wait.

I wanted to turn this on it's side as in this orientation NGC3247 looks like a dancer or worshipper with arms upstretched toward the crescent moon of NGC3199 above. That's the "original" view, but when I do that it only shows the middle section on the Big Wall view missing both targets so have made a Final here on it's side.
