Description

Being a difficult galaxy to image I was lucky to obtain 29 hours of Planewave CDK17 data from Bernard Miller captured from the dark skies of New Mexico.

I tried the new Spectrophotometric Colour Calibration tool in PixInsight to colour calibrate the image for the first time, which worked well.   I also used the Continuum Subtraction method recently demonstrated by @Adam Block  to isolate the HII areas in the H-alpha.
