Description

I am wondering why this thin beauty isn't imaged more often. It is quite large and not too dim. Even in the internet you can barely find some good image of it. There exists a HST image of that galaxy, which I also do not like very much. So I decided for my own version of it. This time with the idea of a very natural look. Not too bright and with soft and not oversaturated colors. Knowing that not everyone likes it in that way, I am happy with the result.

CS, Christoph
