Ive been working on this one for a while now i started it last year and over the past couple of nights grabbed the main bulk of the frames bringing the Luminance just over 12 and a half hours just so i could tease out the extremely faint outer loop.....its been a difficult one to say the least and just eats up the frames

Thanks for looking

Peter

Wow! shovels full of detail I can even see a tiny little black dot in the centre of the galaxy like its the event horizon of a supermassive black hole but obviously can't be:D

[blinky]

Stunning work as always Peter!

[Spikey]

Amazing work as always Peter, very inspiring.

[peter shah]

Many thanks....i have to say that ive taken a closer look at my subs and its actually 15 hours and 57 mis total....a real labour of love...i wasnt sure i was going to be able to pull out the loop

[derrickf]

I love the richness of the star colour in this and indeed most of your images. The faint detail you have teased out of the galaxy extremities is very impressive.

[foundaplanet]

Superb.

[JohnC64]

Thats stunning detail that you have pulled out there

[symesie04]

Fabulous image Peter. Huge amounts of detail, definately worht the effort. You must be glad you put the time in. Have to say she is a beautifull galaxy but a messy one as they go. Is there any theories on why she is a bit messy? recent interaction etc maybe?

[nmoushon]

Thanks looks great! Love the detail!

[Darth Takahashi]

Fantastic image Peter as usual, lots of fine detail in there, well worth the effort

[Viv]

Stunning Sunflower Peter !

[Digz]

Wow, that just jumps off the screen at me, bags of detail and a real labour of love. Very nice.

[Gina]

I know very little about this galaxy but you right the central disk is very neat but those faint outer areas look very messy, it would be interesting to find out why

[Fenriz]

An absolute stunner Peter, don't think I've spent 15 hours on ALL my images to date. Great job.

[RobH]

Easily the deepest image I've seen of this Peter....I never knew it extended so far.

A great capture superbly processed

[steppenwolf]

Excellent core detail, Peter - very nice indeed

[psemil]

Outstanding... It's probably the best I've seen so far.

[peter shah]

Thank again everyone

An absolute stunner Peter, don't think I've spent 15 hours on ALL my images to date. Great job.

I never realized how much id done, just kept knocking out the frames and before I knew it....... it still needs more to bring down the noise, im sure this object could easily take another 16hrs without flinching

[marcoverstraaten]

Stunning! Very nice colors. You must have superb conditions at your site!

I keep looking at the fuzzy stars and the crisp core though. It's somehow too far apart.....
