Description

The is the first time I've ever imaged this galaxy.  I've seen images from others but not myself.  Interesting galaxy.  I was able to acquire 164x300" subs with my Vixen over the previous two nights which is enough for a nice image.  That gives me around 13.5 hours total and I've found that imaging in Phoenix much above 15 hours is very diminishing returns.  I actually tried to get another 80 subs last night but a self caused glitch in NINA caused it to not align and shoot.  No worries, as like I said, 13.5 hours is fine.
