      Description

      NGC7727 or ARP222
      This is a very interresting galaxy in Aquarius.
      Luminance for this one was over 4 hours instead of my usual 2 to 3 hours.
      The limiting magnitude of the luminance stack is close to mag.25.
      Seeing was exeptional on the RGB frames, unfortunately a bit worse on the luminance but still all below 1.5".
      Hope you enjoy it.
      Wolfgang
