Description

This was my first completed LRGB project using the QHY 294M-Pro. I've been shooting primarily in narrowband with this camera and leaving the broadband targets (like galaxies and star clusters) to the ASI294MC-Pro. For me this was a learning experience as I had to figure out some filter wheel stuff and how to manage my files better. But man oh man am I happy with this result. Compared to my attempt at it last year, this completely blows it away. The needle galaxy is such a unique and beautiful piece of our universe. The colors and structure make this deep sky object stand out among most.
