NGC 891 - Edge on Galaxy

[Tim]

Forgot about this one, taken way back in October with a good old DSLR. It looks like 16 x 300 secs, probably from C9.25 @ f6.3. I say 'probably' because I think that was when I was testing stick on crosshairs as a method of fine focussing the SCT, hence the spikes on the stars.

Canon 350D, iso lost to posterity, processed PS and Noels, resized to 30% of original.

Thanks for looking.

EDIT: My mistake, seems to have been at F10.

NGC 891 is my favourite galaxy (for several reasons that don't need to be repeated here). Nice pic! (and a bit better than my initial attempt some weeks back!)

Now come on James, it's only fair if your post your dodgy pics too

Looks like the crosshairs method of fine focussing worked well, nice tight detail.
