NGC 891 - Outer Limits Galaxy

From WebbDeepSky: NGC 891 is one of the finest edge on spirals in the sky. Its discovery was erroneously attributed to Caroline Herschel but it was in fact discovered by her brother William in 1784 where he described it as Bright, large and very much extended.

NGC 891 is about 10 Mpc away and about 100,000 light years across and is part of a group of galaxies that also includes NGC 1023. Although it was first thought to resemble our Milky Way; recent observations with the Hubble Space telescope have shown the existence of filaments of dust colloquially known as dust bunnies. NGC 891 is also a TV star having appeared in the start of the TV program the Outer Limits and has had its name used in at least two music tracks.

Imagers Notes: Galaxies are somewhat strange to process, especially these edge-on ones. Came out pretty good, but in the process of making this one I think I may need to tune the EdgeHD 8 a bit and check the collimation.
