NGC 289

Click image above to view full size
NGC 289, quite a nice face on spiral galaxy. From the colour images I see around it has quite a nice blue colour to it.

The wind was gusting quite heavily during the imaging for this object so I am surprised at the level of quality achieved.

Unfortunately I didn't achieve as much of the fainter outer arms of the galaxy as I was hoping for, I believe simply because of light pollution.

Note: The image tag is incorrect, 300s should be 180s.
