Description

There are a number of nice galaxies in this region. 

I tried a suggestion by the author of Metaguide in this long thread at CN.   The idea is to use G as the luminance layer, and take twice as much G data as R and B.  This gives some of the advantages of an LRGB approach, but allows for more data gathering of RGB.
