Description

One of the spectacular galaxies of the Southern Skies - only in May at elevations around 10degrees visible in the Northern Hemissphere... so extremly difficult to image from my location, almost impossible. I used the services from Telescope.Live and processed 134 frames with exposure times of 300" and 600" in LRGB. The data were taken on a CDK24 with a FLI-PL9000 camera.
If the weather permits and if the seeing is at least good to very good,  I shall see if I can see it from my location... would be interesting. 10 degrees is probably the lowest, I can see.
