Description

I found this very challenging to process:

There is a high dynamic range between the bright inner core and the faint outer ring. The short subs helped a lot and i hope that i could resist the temptation to overstrech the outer ring.

Colouring really gave me a hard time: Av. white and SDSS photometry resulted in a very brown-yellowish appearance, for which i could not find examples on the net. So I went with NOMAD calibration and manual adjustments for this result. I am still not very happy with it.
