Description

I have been enjoying experimenting with what can be done with my goto dobsonian. It was a challenge to process this one, but it came out pretty good I think. I was able to get some good resolution of the dark stripe down the center of the galaxy, though the Hubble photograph is much better. :-) Mine could perhaps be sharpened a little more.

Even with 1650 mm of focal length, this galaxy is still small.
