It is difficult to see this one with a 10" from an urban site. I dare say your location is transparent and away from city lights. Great capture - beautiful sketch.

It really looks like the galaxy as seen in my scope. I will bet though, that if you will use a little more magnification ( something like 126x) you will see the dark lane using averted vision. Just a thought for next time. Post Extras:       Rutilus Pooh-Bah Reged: 12/17/10 Re: NGC 4565.
