Description

Another galaxy processed from Liverpool Telescope data. Not completely happy with this one. Looks a bit too solid and chunky I think, but not sure how to change that. One reason could be the lack of those bright star-forming regions that usually light up galaxies. I get a similar impression from other images I found of M88 on the net, so maybe it is an old and very mature galaxy with not much happening.

Data:

9 x 90 s Bessell B (for blue channel)

9 x 90 s Bessell V (for green channel)

19 x 90 s sdss-r (for red channel)

So, totally a bit less than an hours
