Description

Postprocessing this image was quite challenging. The background was extremely noisy and there was a huge brightness gradient in the image. After a few revisions I think that I squeezed out all information out of the pixels.

Nevertheless I am very pleased with the result and I am happy to be able to show you this very special galaxy!

Enjoy and take care!
