Description

This picture is a small attempt, which also resulted from the fact that the weather here in the Black Forest / Germany has unfortunately hardly allowed any astrophotography lately.
When the sky was supposed to be clear for 2 nights recently with almost 90% moon, I thought to myself that I would try to create a broadband image of a galaxy, despite the difficult conditions, in order to at least find one object in the galaxy season to have photographed.

The luminance channel has an exposure time of approx. 5 hours, RGB approx. 50 minutes each and an additional hour Ha.
