RC12.5” and CCD camera
Excellent capture of NGC4725.
Being able to look back 900 million years in the past (smaller galaxy in the bottom) is one of the awesome aspects of astronomy, even the amateur variety.
The first time I viewed M51 with my 7" dobsonian 'light bucket' and realized that I was looking at an object as it was 35 million years in the past was thrilling.
