Description

My first (and likely only) attempt at using 2x2 binning of the color data. The background is noisier and the galaxies look more "processed" than I like, but I may try to reprocess the data at some point. There was a fair bit of IFN visible if I would have stretched it further, but I didn't like how it was turning out. Overall, I struggled with this more than other images for some reason, likely because I have less data than usual (especially color data).

The A version is annotated, highlighting dozens of background galaxies.
