Spiral Ring Galaxy NGC 4725 [Robotic, Nerpio, ESP][Explored]

This is an update on a work in progress.

A very pretty single armed, ring and barred spiral galaxy in Coma Berenice - so it's really got everything going for it.

 

This is 21 x 10 min subexposures. My plan is to obtain 36 x 10 minute luminosity subs, then 25 x 10 min bin2 RGB subs.

 

Processed in PixInsight 1.8.

 

NGC 4725 lies about 50 million LY away from us, the small spiral galaxy at top left is NGC 4712 and is about 207 million LY away.

 

Images taken with iTelescope T18, a 318mm aperture, 2541mm focal length (f/8.0) CDK scope. FoV in this image is about 25 x 20 arcmins.
