Overshadowed by other objects in Fornax (NGCs 1365, 1097 etc)this is one of the finest ring galaxies around.

LRGB 80m L, 10m R, 10m G, 15m B RGB binned 2 X 2.
C11 @f/6.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks Lance, Stefan & Kevin for your comments. A very underrated galaxy, not even mentioned in the "Hartungs's Astronomical Objects for Southern Telescopes" which is the bible for observing and imaging southern objects.

Merry Xmas.

Steven

Steve,
Fantastic image of a tough object. I have tried this object a few times and its a real difficult one. You did a fantastic job. The faint outer arms are really spectacular.

Nice,
Mark
