Description

A fun little galaxy, with a remarkable amount of Ha hiding away in there. I feel like most of the times I see this object (which is admittedly not too often), those Ha areas are rather hidden. I figured since I had the data, might as well make them stand out. Personally though, I almost like the more traditional view of an almost entirely uniform galaxy with little to no Ha present in this instance. Maybe one day I will remake it with no Ha data, until then though, this will do

Thanks for looking
