Description

I'm going over unfinished projects from this past year and realized that - although I didn't come close to the intended amount of data on this one (only 19 blue and 22 green subs!) - I did have data for all filters. So I tried processing it and it came out okay. There's little to no definition in the outer ring, but I'm not sure additional data would have helped here. Faint rings with little definition and elliptical galaxies are probably the hardest targets to image under light pollution since at some point the edges just fade into the (elevated) noise floor. Still, I get to check off another Messier object: 22 down, 88 to go (not counting re-shoots).
