Description

This galaxy is a relatively small target. Although NGC 295 spans almost 38,000 light years across, it's size quickly diminishes at its current distance of 223,000,000 light years. As the universe continues to expand NGC 295 is getting whisked away from us at 2,868 miles a SECOND!

The stars are a bit bloated due to the image being cropped and not wanting to go overkill on a 6.5hr project. This was mainly to verify that my tilt plate adjustments were accurate - they were! ASTAP said I had 1% tilt... Only took me two nights to get there 

Shot from my backyard in Mobile, AL. Integration time: 6.5 hrs of 5 minute exposures.
