An interesting southern galaxy. There appears to be a small galaxy embedded in it or perhaps
that is further away.

LRGB 60 45 45 45.

Tak BRC250, FLI Microline 8300 camera. From my dark site in NSW Australia.

Greg,

That is a very sweet result. The 3.25 hrs of total exposure time is peanuts for such a quality result!

Greg,

Gorgeous! Amazing given the exposure time! Imagine what it could be like with double or triple the exposure time!

"Fantastic result for such a short exposure time! Your dark sky site must be really dark and really good" wrote Luca with a touch of envy wink

Ciao Greg.

Great job!
