NGC7424 LRGB 4-11Sep2021

A Barred Spiral Galaxy located 37.5 million LY away in the constellation ”Grus” - NGC7424 imaged on multiple nights between 4th and 11th September 2021 in LRGB natural color.

Not my best work as it was imaged during hazy & light polluted skies due to back burning procedures in the area and so I had to stretch the data quite aggressively. This is an object I will need to return to image in the future.

Imaged through a 8" SCT at f6.3 and exposed for a total time of 13 hours, 27 minutes and 30 seconds, consisting of 41x300s & 18x600s of UV/IR Cut "Luma" subs @ gain 31 (6h25m)... Color data aquisition was 5x150s & 25x300s of Red, 28x300s of Green and 29x300s Blue color subs @ HCG:62 gain... all subs at Offset 25 (7h02m30s).
