Description

Just a tiny galaxy in Leo, but it was my first RGB target using my mono camera and Astrodon Gen II RGB filters. I was especially happy with this one, because I only shot for 30 second exposures, and my total integration was just 3 hours. This is vastly different than my previous narrowband shots that were using 2 min exposures.

I had some pretty bad horizontal banding noise on the blue channel, but I was able to mute it within the background by clipping into the blacks. But if you open a saved version of this pic, and do an aggressive stretch, you can still see it.
