M74 image

bw All Messages By This Member #28704 M74, is a nearly face-on "grand design" spiral galaxy, so-called because of the strongly defined, symmetric spiral arms that extend around its core. ?It became known to visual observers as the "phantom galaxy" because of its low surface brightness and relatively large size.? It is somewhat smaller than our Milky Way galaxy and is located about 30M light-years away in the direction of the constellation Pisces. ? The image was captured during a 5-night period in October 2024 under very good sky conditions using a 12.5" PlaneWave scope and a QSI-640ws camera at f/8 from SkyPi ?Remote Observatories. ?Total LRGB integration was 20.5 hours.? This is my third try at this target over a 14-year period - hopefully, the 3rd time is the charm. :-) ? ? Thanks for looking, Bruce W.
