Description

After having almost given up on my asi1600, it made it back almost 6 months post warranty return. NGC1313 has been on my list (previous attempts to capture from big city skies had miserably failed). So a worthy target to test the repair. Skies cleared for few nights , that's given some data to post this result. Another 4-5 hours would have been great. Dithering and drizzle compensates; it's what it is.

Gain=139
Offset=10
Humidity 87%

Some interesting facts,
NGC1313 is spectacularly uneven, which probably explains why its axis of rotation is not at the center. It contains a rare intermediate-mass black hole, and it's one of the brightest X-ray sources in our neighborhood info link.
