Barred spiral galaxy located in the constellation Andromeda, distant about 40 million light years from Earth.
NGC 7640 in Andromeda
NGC6946 in Chepeus with a 0.61m Astrograph
The final result is the combination of 4 images at 120 seconds in Luminance for a total of 8 minutes exposition with a Planewave CDK 24” in Sierra Remote Observatory at Auberry California.

The galaxy NGC 4565 in Coma Berenices, is the composition of 6 x 120 seconds in R channel + 6 x 120 seconds in B channel, the G channel has been synthesized with IRIS.
The images have been processed with IRIS and Lightroom CC, then I used Astrometrica for data reduction and APT to extract a source list. The result has been analyzed with Topcat, Aladin and CDS Portal website.

Composition of 6 images at 120 seconds of exposition per image in R channel, I used the iTelescope T5 in Mexico, a 0.25m f/3.4 reflector with SBIG ST-10XME CCD.
I used IRIS for registration and stacking, and a little bit of Lightroom CC to make the final photo a little more pleasant, the raw images have been calibrated using MaximDl by iTelescope.

I took this photo with a 250mm f/3.4 reflector and CCD SBIG ST-10XME using the remote telescope iTelescope.NET.
Is the composition of 4 images at 120 seconds of exposition and 10 images at 60 seconds of exposition all with clear filter, it has been processed with IRIS, Lightroom CC, than I made data reduction with Astrometrica and APT and than analyzed with Aladin and TOPCAT.
