Just a little stab at something I saw in a book of targets to image. I should add more time to this (duh) but I'm not going to...

Small galaxy showing a lot of details. Excellent image and processing!

Thanks all for commenting. This is the farthest target I've imaged to date at ~106 mly (though Wikipedia has it at 130mly). Hard to believe that those photons took that long to reach the sensor on my camera. Wonder how things are going there...

I like how you pulled that bit of nebulosity out of it- good process. That thing is small, good catch! Marc

Sweet shot man. Don't see this one so much.
You got a ton of detail here. I don't think more time would yield much more.
We must really discuss when you are going to donate your mount to me...
