Description

This is my first take on NGC891 or the Silver Sliver Galaxy.  I split imaging this with M1 the past two nights.  NGC891 was up ready to image around 7:30pm and I imaged this until around midnight and then I would switch to imaging M1 as it finally rose above 35 degrees so I could image it well too.  This is 110x300" frames.  There was a pretty dramatic increase in resolution between 55 subs and 110 but to image another night in Phoenix probably won't result in much resolution increase so I stopped here.

The moon is on the way out so my NYX-101 was guiding very well and all of my subs were quite dark making for a very nice final image.

Enjoy!
