Description

I had some trouble with this image, but I am pleased to have rescued it, as it is one of my favourite galaxies in a great part of the sky. If only I had moved the FOV to the left a bit and upwards, that bottom galaxy would have been in the frame a bit more, as would the tiny one in the right hand lower corner... But I am pleased with the result. I took 218 luminances, and then 28 subs each of RGB, all at 1 minute in length. The integration time was 5 hours and 2 minutes - I bet that 2 minutes makes all the difference! Have a good day...
