Description

I had this two sets of image data of the Whirlpool (one from the SPX-300 and the other from the MN-200) and decided to see what happens when you blend them in equal measure. I quite liked the result and decided to publish. As in a way it cannot be construed as being a "revision" of either of the two previous images (and the fourth for this iconic galaxy) I decided that it deserved a place of its own and here it is.
