NCG 4559 LRGB

Here is NGC 4559 in Coma Berenices. I have struggled with weather this winter/spring. This session was clear but windy so there was a little struggle with mount stability. Overall though, in scaling back to 1400+ mm FL, I am reasonably happy with the image.

Very interesting detail in this galaxy Jim,well done.

Jim,

Very nice!! You all keep coming up with interesting objects. I have my eyes on NGC4216, this area has three edgeon galaxies in the field. Wow, since joining the dark side, there are WAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY too many objects I want to shoot and not enough time... hehee!!!
