The Needle Galaxy

This beautiful galaxy resides in Coma Berenices, and I highly recommend this target for my fellow northern hemisphere imagers!

This image uses 4 hours of total exposure time captured from a bright city sky.

Camera: bit.ly/ASI2600MMPro

Filter Wheel: bit.ly/3a53JqX

Telescope: bit.ly/2V9cSYD

Filters: bit.ly/3g0PdV3

I collected exactly an hour's worth of data (20 x 3-minutes) through each LRGB filter (not nearly enough!) and stacked each set together in DeepSkyStacker using dark calibration frames).

The color channels were aligned and processed entirely in Adobe Photoshop to complete the image. Thanks for looking, and clear skies!
