Description

Good name for this incredible galaxy!

This version does not have the broad spectrum of colors that I have seen in many photos of this.

But this galaxy provides such a subtle beauty regardless.

About an hour and 50 minutes of integrated exposure using 1330 5 second subs thru ASILIVE.
