NGC 1365 the great barred spiral galaxy

i used 9 hours of data from a telescope.live remote observatory in chile which i then processed using software called pixinsight.

heh galaxy itself is 56 million light years away. it is estimated to be 2x the size of the milky way but its though the MW has the same general shape as it.
the galaxy contains a massive black hole at the center
