Here's my first attempt at NGC891. I used a C8 at f/6.5 (1.413 arc-seconds/pixel) on a Takahashi EM200 mount. Camera used is an ST-8XE. I got a couple of background galaxies, but they are out of the frame of this cropped image.

It was somewhat windy the night I imaged (Sep. 18), but I persisted in imaging at 1 x 1 for luminance anyway.

L: 12 x 10 minutes binned 1 x 1
R: 6 x 5 minutes binned 2 x 2
G: 6 x 5 minutes binned 2 x 2
B: 9 x 5 minutes binned 2 x 2

Comments welcome.

Good shot Enrico!
Nice detail captured, specially on the dust lanes..., good tracking too!

Thanks!
