Description

The Whale Galaxy (NGC 4631) - Lots of friends to go along with this eye-candy.  Be sure to scan all the small galaxy smudges in this shot.  Almost 6 hours of exposure time including both an RGB image set as well as adding in narrowband (H-Alpha and Oxygen III) into the emphasized highlights. Cropped special for galaxy season.
