This lovely southern spiral galaxy barely gets to 20 degrees above my horizion. It was really tough shootinh in ythe murk, but I think it turned out OK - I was happy with it. I took shorter subframes and binned 2x2 for the luminance and 3x3 for the color. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

What a great example of a barred spiral,beautiful!

With this so low for you I think your result is all the more impressive!
