| Scope | Takahashi FSQ85ED | |
| Camera | Modified 450D | |
| Integration | Stack of 18x300sec. at ISO800. Preprocessing with IRIS. Stack and stretch with PICTools. Postprocessing with Pixinsight LE. | |
| Comment | Taken with focal reducer in order to get all the bar in single frame e not needing a mosaic. The elevation of the galaxy throughout the imaging session was fairly low. I had to boost colour a bit over what I normally do. |
