NGC157, the Galaxy on Steroids

Post by Russ.Carpenter »

Here is the rarely imaged NGC157. I captured it with a 27 inch Planewave located at iTelescope in Siding Springs, Australia. NGC157 is sometimes called the Superman Galaxy, thanks to the S shape in the galaxy’s interior. 1.2 hours of total imaging time, divided equally among R, G and B, binned 1X1. Stacking in PixInsight, with the remainder of processing in StarTools.
