Spiral galaxy NGC 300 - Better View is large on Black

A galaxy that is very faint and was not the best to do as it was small and in moon light. This really was more done to try out the second camera and Nina. Happy to say all went well but for this rather dim view that is BEST Viewed LARGE. The mount flipped perfectly, Nina is getting to a program that is easy to use.This is a better target done in Narrow band with coloured filters but I am not there yet.

String of Pearls Galaxy NGC55 Or Whale Galaxy

This was taken over two nights and sits not far under the String Of Pearls Galaxy. this is my last two under clear skies. This in a shot for Ko.

A great astro image, Steve. Maybe I'll get out again at night soon - if ever the skies clear!

It has not been a very good time for astro this winter I hope spring and summer are better , I also look forward to getting out of the house for some wide field as well. have not had a good winter at all summer means shorter night and hotter temperatures as well, for running astro cameras.
