Hi Kevin

That’s a great image. You have nice colour in the stars and the galaxy and have captured the fine delicate structure of the galaxy really well. In terms of composition, I would crop the bright star (?) on the right edge of the picture as it may be a bit of a distraction from the galaxy. Otherwise, excellent work!

Hello Kevin, a good image, and all Tim has said.
Small dwarf galaxy NGC 5477 is at the bottom centre just inside the view.
You’ve captured a small faint galaxy, PGC 49919, near your bright star (HD 122601) in the 11 o’clock direction, just to the left of that star. Also galaxy PGC 2464645 in the opposite direction about the same distance, not far from your bottom galaxy NGC 5477.
That bright ‘star’ about half in on the right is galaxy NGC 5474 :), but yes, it’s a distraction.
Your image is rotated about 100º to the left.
Thank you for sharing.
William
