Hello Simon,
You sure don't make life easy for yourself do you. Was a new galaxy to me simply because I dismiss anything that isn't reasonably bright and a decent size. An excellent job on a difficult target, but now after having spent a couple of minutes looking it up, I now consider myself an expert.
I'm afraid I can only award you 9/10 on this one on the basis that you failed to capture any of the tidal stream. Told you I was now an expert on it. Shame really as I'm sure with a bit more effort, say a further 25 hours of exposure time, you could have captured a faint trace of it. That would definitely have earned a10/10, but quite probably got you kicked out of the house when the charge appeared on your next credit card statement!!!
Seriously thanks for sharing, now just wondering what next you'll have for us.
Hope you are able to get a decent amount of imaging time this weekend at home, despite the lack of truly dark skies here. Clear skies anyway...
Best regards,
Ray
