Amazing photo of that edge-on galaxy.
Any speculation about the "ring" and radiating lines of stars around the galaxy? I can't help but wonder if gravity forces or a "collision" is at work here.

I'm pretty sure those stars are between us and that galaxy, but I could be wrong.

Great shot with only 180 seconds. What equipment did you use to take this image.

Hi Ballard, thanks for your comment.
ASKAR 120MM F7APO with field flattener, Canon R6, ISO 12,800 6X30sec subs mounted on a Celestron AVX mount. Of course that is 180sec of lights, 180 of darks, the flats were shorter and bias frames much shorter. I processed in Siril v1.21 then a bit more in Topaz
I was out in the AZ desert 50miles north of Douglas AZ at the Tucson Amateur Astronomy Association CAC site. This is a pretty dark location with class 2 Bortle skies.

That sound like a great location. I'm in Bortle 4 here in Grass Valley and recently the Jet stream had made for bad seeing.

Thanks for the explanation.
I just took a second look, this time at the download on my computer instead of on my phone. I can see the elongation of those stars. The galaxy is very beautiful by itself. And the brightness of the furnace at the center is exciting. I also found the very dim and distant galaxy to the left.
As my dad used to say, it stretches your imagination to the breaking point. It's too bad he is not here to see the things we can see today. But then again, maybe where he is now, he can see more than we can.
I really enjoy this photo. Please, keep them coming.
