Description

Absolutely mind blowing how much signal this telescope can pick up in such short exposures (yes, that is correct). I have never even noticed the ejection to the bottom of this image before. Was quite a surprise seeing it in here, but also a challenge making sure I brought it out due to how faint it was.

Color palette for this one is always interesting. I have 3 different version I made, but I think this is is the one I like the most. I had one strictly false color (close to Hubble's image in color), one attempting to recreate true color, and this one, which is sort of the middle child of the two.

Let me know what you think!

These results made use of the Lowell Observatory’s Discovery Channel Telescope.
