Description

With little hope I tried to get an image of M109 through a Bortle 8 sky and with a nearly full moon. After many corrections in Pixinsight and Capture One I got a better than expected result. The ASI 1600 mono camera is still a good choice.

It is exciting to think that there are now intelligent individuals observing the Milky Way from M109 as our galaxy was 80 million years ago and thinking that our distant galaxy is very similar to their own.
