Description

As I watched the processing develop on the Black Eye Galaxy, the color as it came off the chip made me think of a Pink Eye Galaxy. Neither Black Eye or Pink Eye brought back any positive childhood memories. The color, however, is consistent with a number of other images posted here and elsewhere.

I have long struggled to capture images of the faint galaxies with the CMOS camera, however adjusting some items of technique and using the L-Pro filter as a LPR filter seemed to turn the corner for me. In the case of this Galaxy it can use all the aquistion time that you can muster.
