Description

I photographed IC 2574 from January through March of 2024 in HaLRGB. This is a faint galaxy and takes a lot of integration time to bring out the details. Even the Ha had faint signal; I spent  20 hours of integration time on Ha. The galaxy is very blue in color and without the addition of Ha, the red colors were fairly drowned out by the blues. I do enjoy these chaotic looking galaxies though, and am happy I gave it a shot!
