Then you ain't looking up :lol:

That is a really great capture since normally all you see is dust lanes and no detail in them. The big scope does it again Eamonn.

Replied by Keith g on topic Re:
Eamonn, this is a great galaxy to image. It's odd as there is so much dust within the inner parts, and to one side, while the other side and the arms are very clear.

Living within that galaxy behind that dust must really take away from the night sky of any planet there, while the other side must be a spectacular sight.

Keith..
