That's a fantastic image of one of my favourite galaxies. You have lovely colour in the outer arms and nice detail in the dust. And little IC3465 and IC3543 are nicely defined as the "support act".

Hi Alex. A very nice Needle Galaxy (and Caldwell 38) image with your EdgeHD11 telescope. Excellent contrast, galaxy dust lane, and several neighbors all show up quite well. Thanks for taking the time to put this capture up on here for us to enjoy Alex and keep up your great work.

Super nice close up view of this beautiful target!
Excellent details and the color is spot on.
Man, that Edge is a fine imaging instrument! You certainly are making it work on these smaller galaxies.
On the other side of the coin, I swapped my "big" scope (102mm) into action recently. Had some unusual issues, and swapped the wide field Sharpstar 61 back in service. I guess that I am lazy, but working with a nice small refractor is just so simple!
Beautiful work my friend!
