Hi All,
Amazingly the galaxy just fit into the frame (LX90 at f/6.3) at this angle (didn't even have to reorient the camera--just got lucky). It's 104x:30 with a Starlight Xpress MX716. Acquired and processed in AstroArt3. Some gradient and dust issues which I couldn't flatten out due to bad flats, thus I couldn't really push the contrast as much as I'd like.
Thanks for looking,
Larry Durst

Hi Larry,
I hope you don't mind: I did a quick (and not very good) removal of some of the gradients in your image. The LX90 is not easy to image with but you've done pretty well here.
