The Very Rare IC 5201
I have found only a few other images of IC 5201 published by amateurs: this is by far the most detailed one. IC 5201 is a barred spiral with multiple thin arms. The galaxy has many HII regions, which, of course, are centers of star formation. IC 5201 is not a member of a galaxy group and is therefore characterized as an isolated galaxy.
This is an RGB image with a synthetic luminance.
Tech Notes for ASA 500/3.6:
ASA Newtonian, 500 mm aperture, 1900mm focal length, F3.6
FLI Proline 16803, 9 mm pixel, 4096 X 4096
ASA DDM85 equatorial mount
Processing with PixInsight, StarTools, and Affinity Photo
