NGC891 was created by phoenix
After grabbing some colour data for the veil I did some test shots on this galaxy to see how it would look. 5 x 4 minute subs binned 2x2. Quite a few faint fuzzies came out

That's a lovely image. It's nice to see larger fields of view so you get to see the object in context. This is also a really cool galaxy with it's belt of gas. Well done, great capture!

Kieran,
Good stuff and perfect focus!
Be careful with the RGB data since it is very faint and you will require lots of lengthy exposures. I remember last year pursuing NGC 891 just about when the weather fell apart and I could not believe the low signal in my 15-min subs for RGB.
Andromeda is very slowly getting into prime position for a hit and I will certainly be pursuing this edge-on wonder shortly.
Good work!

Thats a stonking shot Keiran. I love all the other fuzzies in there. You know sometimes I think colour can detract from a great shot like this.
