This is a stack of 136x300 sec or ~11.5 hours. Shot from my backyard with QHY12 OSC on an AT10" RC. Shot during Full-3/4 Full Moon.

This is estimated to be 22-25 million light years from earth. (for those that prefer miles, its between 129,329,758,800,000,000,000 and 146,965,635,000,000,000,000 miles)

Nicely done, good detail and star color.

This is how I like to quantify it......if you could travel at the speed of light - it would take you 20 plus million years to get there. Great work on you imaging!

Thanks guys. It would be nice to some of the fainter arms of the galaxy.

So Beautiful, again!

You get such great images.

I'm jealous of your equipment. Your RC's are amazing.

Some of the math representations are kind of ludacris. When learning electricity, a Professor explained that it takes 6.25 times 10 to the 18th power of electrons flowing at 1 volt, to equal 1 Amp of electric current in a circuit. Or 6,250,000,000,000,000,000 electrons every second.
I explained to the Professor that if I needed to check the current in a circuit, I'd merely use an Ammeter. And the amount of electrons didn't really matter to me. Kind of brought him back to Earth....
Mankind wouldn't live long enough to go visit the deep space objects we observe.
But it sure is fun to ponder the thought.

...black holes, supernovae, the odd gamma-ray burst or two...too much fun for moi...terra firma for me...but beautiful and amazing from afar...
