NGC4565 LRGB

[opticalpath]

Seeing several excellent images of the 'Needle' posted recently by members prompted me to go back and have another go at processing one of my own efforts from a while back.  I think this is a worthwhile improvement with more detail extracted in the dust lane.
It's 6.4 hours luminance (1x1) and 3.2 hours RGB (2x2), taken with a SW MN190 and QSI583 with OAG.  This is a crop of the central area.  A wider field view can be seen here: http://universalconstant.com/NGC4565_AP_crop2.jpg

Great image! Your wide field looks even better, I think.

A most pleasing reprocess Adrian...I lime it a lot. Nice star colour and I love the galaxy colour too

Wonderful edge on, with great balance between the galaxy, stars and background.

That's a wonderful image. I particularly like the wider view with bonus fuzzies and a bit of context to this fascinating galaxy.

That's a beautifully crafted image and, having taken on that target with far more expensive kit, I doff my hat to a superb result.

Thanks for your kind comments, folks.

Nice image.

Bottom right the spreading trail of faint fuzzies/stars give the impression of light sprinkles left behind as this bright galaxy drifts through space... magical.
