Description

Nice galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici.   Shot from a Bortle 5.5 sky at 984mm FL.  I shot this object over several nights so I used the first of the month as the image date.  Imaging started around the last week of April and concluded at the end of the first week of May.  I created a synthetic luminance from the RGB to enhance some of the detail.
