Howdy,

I have managed to get out and get some good sky time a while ago and decided to try a galaxy for a change.

A wide field view can be found here with image details,

And a near 1:1 crop of the galaxy itself can be found here

Plenty of faint fuzzies to see in the background of the wide field image. Thanks for looking, comments or processing tips welcome as always.

Cheers,

Graham.

Superb. On my visit to Sydney a few years back I spotted this one with 15x70 bins, as a little fuzzy blob. The dust lane that shows up so nicely on your image was not visible, of course

Thanks for the comments, I'm glad you enjoyed the view!

Michael, we were out a few weekends ago at a dark site outside of Adelaide called Eudunda, and we had a great time viewing some very cool DSO's with a mates 7x35(I know they were small) and NGC5128 was very clear and bright. Was awesome to think it can be picked out in binos.

Thanks for your comments. Nice to show you guys something that you do not see too often.
