Description

Object type : Spiral galaxy type (R)SA(r)ab

Distance : 14 million lightyears

Starcount : 40 billion

Diameter : 50,000 lightyears

This is my first photo where I used a guide camere and a guidescope. This is actually a test guiding. Not the best photo from this galaxy. Bright moonlight nearby, and way too less data results in too less detail. Maybe in the future, I'll visit this galaxy once again, and will collect more data.
