Description

The Pinwheel Galaxy taken over one night. Seemed overly difficult to get some color out of it but I am happy with the result.

Description: previous background seemed a bit red to me. Just removed some red in this version.

Description: bit less stretching and color change thanks to saturation before arcsinh stretching.

I think this one is cleaner and the galaxy stands out a bit more. Colors seem more faithful too.
