Here is a pic of a smallish but interesting galaxy. I have a full size image and exposure / processing details at:

Did this one with my C8 at f/7.5.
L:R:G:B 48:15:15:15

I think I have one more data set on galaxies - then it's off to doing some nebulas.

Thanks folks for th comments...

Larry, Thanks for taking a look at some of the other images on my website. The gallery spans several evolutions of equipment and can range quit a bit in quality. I kind of like to keep the old stuff out there - its fun to look at from the old stuff from time to time.
