Description

This is an interesting and I think overlooked gem in Canes Venatici. Fairly large sized type SA spiral with a Seyfert nucleus. The arms are a bit faint, but nothing some commitment to some exposure time cannot fix.

Again, my data collection skills far surpass my process skills, but the gap is closing. Actually this is a milestone image. The data came from two different mounts: Lum came from my Celeston CGE-Pro and the RGB came from my new Astro-Physics 1100GTO. The A-P has so far been a complete joy to use and the guiding accuracy very impressive as can be expected. I really look forward to many years and decades of service from it.
