NGC 5371

Crikey, we are well into March and I've only posted one galaxy image so far this season. I got a measly 79 x 2 mins with the Esprit 150/ASI178/ASI678 on this fine barred spiral galaxy in Canes Venatici due to the dome shutter closing on a Low volts alarm. It looks like I'm clouded out for the next 5 days so I went through the archive and found another 5 hrs on a wider FOV taken with the Esprit 150/IMX571OSC. So this 7.75 hrs of the combined data, processed in PI and Affinity photo. I'm really grateful that we have the software to effortlessly combine data from different set ups, it does help to offset the meagre clear sky time we have to work with these days.

I certainly agree regards the meagre pickings. I have managed 5 hours in the last 6 weeks😫
