Well, I'm still stuck in Galaxy season. (I will be for a bit until I proces some of the outstanding data.) Here is NGC 4725 - an oject I think should be imaged more than it is. A full size image and exposure / processing details are at:

Hi Jim,
The only other image I have seen of this is the one on CCD calculator,taken by Jim Misti.

Your image looks great!
Look forward to when you process some more,

Jason

Nice work, Jim! Keep it up! I'm also stuck with some as-yet unfinished galaxy images, maybe they'll be ready by winter wink

Thanks for the comments folks...

Louie,
Yeah, this image is typical of my short data sets. I think I 'm going to have to demonstrate some patience and get some longer data on some of the objects.

Eric,
I thought I was the only one to sit on data like I do. don't keep us waiting until next winter though.
