NGC4244 Silver Needle Galaxy

[powerlord]

Very good seeing last night. I feel I kind of wasted it all on this galaxy to be honest, which doesn't really look that great for 242 minutes imho.

But hey ho, here's the best I can make of it - 300 second exposures mostly. SW 200PDS, ASI533.

A good effort actually.
I do not think I have really seen an interesting image of this target, certainly by amateur imagers. It does tend to be a fairly bland target with little colour  on most of them I have seen.

thanks, but yeh I know what you mean - it was the right size for my FL, so I felt I had to have a go, but doubt I'll try again. I've seen some pull out a bit of red in the centre, but there was nothing there is mine that I could find.
