Description

I started this more than a year ago but only just completed it having collected some additional 1200s Lum in late January in an attempt to enhance the outer halo.

This was a real challenge to process not only because of the high dynamic range between the core and outer halo of the galaxy but also because the RGB flats (which I took over a year ago) were of poor quality. This latter issue made processing the background particularly challenging.

Anyhow, I think I've squeezed as much as I can from this data set and I'll move on to other targets.
