Description

I found this very hard to process and I almost did not post it. There was some serious issue with the gradient, or something else going on, but I got what I could out of it. That said, I am pleased to have captured something of a galaxy I have never imaged before, because for some reason or other, there was not a lot in the stack, and it took a lot of teasing to bring it forth. This was 89 subs at 4 minutes long each, which totals 5 hours and 56 minutes, during a bright moon period - the same period as my other recent objects.
