Description

Fishing some data between the clouds in the last days, I could finish the LRGB image of this stunning galaxy in Uma which I startet already last year. It is really nicely structured and I am wondering why we don't see it more often here. There seem to be no large H alpha regions in this Sb type, so I decided for not imaging with the H alpha filter. Instead there are a lot of regions with young hot blue stars. So how to set the final coloring? I decided for this one which shows the dustlanes in red ,the hot star sections in more blue and the whole galaxy mainly in yellow. Hope you like it.

Clear skies to all, Christoph
