About this image

NGC-1365 is a barred spiral galaxy in the constellation of Fornax and it has been one of my favourite galaxies since we lived in the USA and were able to image it. The galaxy has two large, prominent spiral arms that form the shape of the letter Z.  Loyd took this image on 10-29-21 from his Fort Davis, Texas observatory.  He used a ZWO-2400mcp camera with his 14.5" RCOS telescope and total exposure was 66 minutes taken in 3 minute subs.
