Description

IC 10 a starburst galaxy in Cassiopeia. I was interested in imaging this galaxy because of its irregular shape and magellanic cloud. 

This is an HaLRGB image. I used continuum subtraction in Pixelmath to prepare the Ha and add it to the RGB image. I was not able to achieve much blue color within the galaxy likely because of the interstellar dust which gave the galaxy a reddish-brown haze. I really like the starfield and bright colorful stars surrounding this galaxy; it was challenging to bring out the small stars in the galaxy without adding too much to the rest of the starfield.
