Description

The well known galaxy is very interesting and attractive due to its small features and weak detail surrounding the main core. I was using my Lacerta 10" Newton (with fused silica mirrors plus apochromatic coma corrector), a QHY163C at -15C and took 120 second subs during several nights between February and the day before yesterday. In total well over 300 subs which I restricted to the very best ones - reducing the amount to 123 and then processed them in PixInsight and Photoshop.

I think that strict restriction paid off.... nice details and fine structures...
