Needle Galaxy & 14 sisters in LRGB

[carballada]

NGC 4565 (also known as the Needle Galaxy or Caldwell 38)

 

For this picture I selected only the best 257 images (from initial 404 frames of 180s.) on Luminance channel to stack.

It was a long and detailed process to confirm only the best of the best captures, I called them superframes.

 

 

It was more than 24 hours of integration. (plus 10 hours more for trash..) 

Here the links with all the technical description

And the annotated pictured with all family (the other 14 galaxies on the picture)

Any comment will be welcome

Enhorabuena. Nice to see it as something other than a small featureless blob:)

Not much I can add to the above but to agree that is a superb image and you should be so proud of it. ?

Thanks for sharing ?

Thank you so much, I think it worth it, just to keep the good ones and not use the others than in regular conditions I use it... it’s hard to drop more than 10 hours of good frames ?
