Description

Messier 100 (M100). Also known as the "Blowdryer Galaxy" and NGC 4321. M100 is spiral galaxy that is approximately 55 million light-years from Earth.

This is my first image to process with my newly acquired ZWO ASI6200MM Pro. Photo taken on 4/2/2021 in Spring, TX (just outside Houston, TX). Utilized PIXInsight and Adobe Photoshop to stack, process, and clean up the image.

Enjoy.
