NGC4565 Flying Saucer Galaxy from New Mexico

[CCD-Freak]

I am starting to process the 10 Gigs of image data I took last week while out in western New Mexico.

The seeing was poor (2=below average) and I was imaging at 2000mm with an AT10RC and an ASI-533MCp with a UV-IR filter at .39"/pixel which is over-sampled for poor seeing.

NGC4565 Flying Saucer or Needle galaxy about 65 x 3 minute subs after I purged the worst ones.  Captured and processed with Astro Art 7.

The image was soft and the fine details were fuzzed out until a buddy ran it through Topaz DeNoise and wow....what an improvement.

That is really nice. Love the silvery detail in the dust lane.

Here is the imaging rig used....AT10RC on an AP900GTO with an ASI-533MCp with a Baader UV-IR filter. 

Guider is an old University Optics 80mm "Kit Scope" with an ASI-290MM

 

I call it the "Galaxy Canon" 🤪
