Description

This galaxy is a monster--83 million light years away with a trillion stars.  Wow.  Very poor conditions made this a frustrating project--one that lasted over 4 months.  I wanted to capture some Ha,  but didn't have the opportunity.  maybe I will try and add some.  I haven't been able to confirm that M109 has appreciable Ha.
