Description

I was only able to get about 2 hours on this, and I was honestly not going to share until I could collect more, but once I started editing I was amazed how bright this galaxy is. I think this begs for about three times the data and a few hours of Ha. Hoping to get that over the next couple of weeks if the clouds break during the new moon.
