Description

As I try to use up all my credits remaining on Telescope Live,  I picked up this set on M 77. It looks similar to the Croc's Eye Galaxy (M 94) and if I had to choose sides, I think  M 94 is the better looking one.

There is nothing really special to say here, aside from a fair bit of custom masking that was needed due to the dynamic range of M 77. I think it turned out alright, although it would of been nice to use all 128 frames instead of the 65 that made the cut. I would of gotten more of the outer halo, but the detail would of suffered. I think I made a fair trade.
