Southern Galaxies

SPX350 F4.53, ST10XME, Astrodon filters.

I have not imaged for a while but here are some Southern galaxies from Brisbane.  N Hemisphere has bigger galaxies but the South has many medium sized galaxies.

NGC247  mag9.1, 11 mil lyrs 

NGC300 is the Souths equivalent of M33 at mag 8.1 6 mil lyrs away with large HII regions.

NGC1398 is a flocculent galaxy where its spiral arms merge together.  Mag9.7, 80mil lyrs away.

NGC1512 is interacting with another galaxy so has a spindly arm stretching out.  Mag10.3, 38 mil lyrs away.

Very nice shots, I am sure many people would love to see more of your work. Apart from it being very good you also can image many things that most members can not even see from where they are. Thank you for sharing!!
