This is a "bright" galaxy, and should be easy to capture. I have more frames of this object than all others combined, and this is still the best I could do. Auto registration with an 8 pixel radius was used. The final image was unsharp masked, and the gamma was increased to around 1.5, to bring out the faint outer arms.
