NOTE: The image was acquired from a very polluted sky ( Red Zone - where I live ).

 

I am very happy with this result that I could get following (as always) Terry Hancock's instructions ! Thank you, teacher :)

 

I think that I could have arrived at the same result with 7/8 hours of exposure time, instead of 10.

 

As I did in the previous image, I wanted to propose the same NGC4565 in another position.
