Description

After a long and cloudy late winter/early spring, I was finally able to get out and go after a galaxy. This was my first attempt with my old Meade LX200 EMC. I've had it for over 20 years and this is the first dedicated astro image I've taken with it (I did do a moons-of-jupiter project with it in university but thats as far as I got). It does have an added Starizona flattener/reducer to make it more manageable.
