NGC1097

[Russ.Carpenter]

Here is NGC1097, captured with a 26 inch Planewave, located at iTelescope in Siding Springs, Australia. The main thing about this galaxy is its interaction with the companion dwarf, NGC1097A. Just 1.2 hours of imaging time, divided equally among R, G and B. Subs graded in Nebulosity and stacked and aligned in PixInsight. The rest of the processing was in StarTools. Some small adjustments were made my favorite general processing program, Affinity Photo. One of these days I'll get so skillful with StarTools that I won't need those last-minute tweaks.
