    NGC 3324

    Shawn Nielsen and Russ Jacob, New South Wales, Australia, June 2019

    Russ says: “This Hubble palette image of a Southern Hemisphere jewel, NGC 3324, was a collaboration: I collected the data and Shawn in Canada did the processing. Here in New South Wales I have Bortle 5 skies, which helps, and a 15-minute drive from my home I’m into Bortle 2.” Equipment: ZWO ASI 1600MM Pro mono camera, Sky-Watcher Black Diamond 200/1000 f/5 reflector, Sky-Watcher NEQ6 mount

    Exposure: 87
