Description

An unusual galaxy with a shell of stars surrounding it due to a "recent" encounter. I noticed some Ha in the red channel and plan on taking some Ha subs and adding it to the image in the near future. I pushed the saturation pretty hard as the galaxy colors were muted, which then gave some of the stars some funky colors. First galaxy image of the "galaxy" season. L 600s x 15, RGB 300s x 5 2x2 binned.

New version corrects the green cast.
