Description

This part of the chain is very famous. Especially NGC4438 has an interesting structure.
These data were taken with the AFIL-2 over 30h LRGB
  • Telescope: SkyRover 130APO Pro F7 f=910mm
  • Mount: iOptron CEM60
  • Camera: AtikOne
  • Location: Kunming, China (Yunling Observatory)

I tried to keep the picture as natural as possible, whatever "natural" means. At least with regard to colour saturation and deconvolution.
