19 x 10minute subs, darks and flats subtracted ED120 APO Orion Starshoot Pro III color CCD. 55 million light years away, this classic and very pretty spiral galaxy peeks at us through the thick veil of starry hosts in our home galaxy. Small, but nice. Picked up a few faint fuzzies with it too so I am pretty pleased. You can see a higher resolution version in my image gallery at ASIGN Observatory Baz.
