Description

Spiral galaxy NGC2903 taken with the GSO RC10"
Despite it's size the RC10 is easy enough to handle - it tracks, guides and focuses just fine (although I'm still not sure about my collimation, even if the tool says it's good I'm not convinced). Post processing though is more time consuming than with the refractor I'm more used to using.
I'm also way oversampled so the images were taken with 2x2 binning (0.94 as/pix) and then upscaled.
Also NGC2903 is a barred spiral which I hadn't noticed at larger image scales.

Description: I wanted a little extra crispness in the galaxy core so I applied deconvolution again - something I'm told you should never do!
