Description

This will probably be my last Galaxy for a while, not a lot well placed at the moment so going to give the Meade 12 in F8 ACF a break and refit my APM LZOS 130 F6 refractor for some wider field views.

NGC3109 is probably the faintest galaxy I've imaged with the Meade... barely shows up on my LRGB subs even at 90s exposures.

This is based on just under 10 hours of imaging takedn from 3 nights dusk to dawn...lots of cloud taking out half the subs.

Stacked and processed in APP and separately in Startools and recombined and processed as Starless in SP before reintroducing RGB stars.
