I can’t believe after all these years I’ve never observed this galaxy, it’s beautiful! The only tricky part was that I had to hurry between the time it cleared my bushes and it reached the meridian. I also have a bit of residual gradient even after applying flats (fairly hazing when I took this picture). I may spend some more time with the data to see if I can clean it up a bit more (gotta upgrade my Photoshop; still using PS7).
