NGC 1365 the great barred spiral galaxy

I used 9 hours of data from a remote observatory in chile that i then processed in pixinsight and photoshop
teh galaxy is about 56 million light years from earth. Its estimated to be 2x the size of our galaxy but our galaxy i suspected of having teh same general shape. at the center of the galaxy is a massive black hole up to 2 million times as massive as the sun

Truly incredible image.
