NGC 7814 - Edge on Galaxy in Pegasus.

Cracking shot Dave! The central halo is beautiful and you can see hints of structure in the dividing dust lane on the upper and lower edges - just incredible!

Gonna have to have a serious chin-wag with you about ACP for the observatory - I'm getting close (finally, eventually, WooHoo!!!) to actually putting my dome together... though don't hold your breath!

Great stuff Dave, that very delicate central dust lane looks fantastic.

That is one cool image, the bulge on that thing almost looks like it really is protruding slightly off the screen. Colours are bang-on Dave, and the stars are nice and sharp (apart from slight vignetting at the sides).

Actually, when I look at that galaxy, well, stare at it, it reminds me of one of those edge on shots of Saturn!

That's a lovely smooth shot Dave, it would be a good supernova candidate !

And actually come to think of it - Dave you are not far off this !!
