Description

Another much dimmer target than usual and wow I love the result. I struggled a tooonn with framing because of how small and dim these galaxies are but I managed to just get it in a common center in all of my frames. I did a ton of post process work to get the colors this vibrant and to get rid of a bunch of the master image that had not turned out as well due to a large chuck of my frames be very off camber from the master frame. This caused some resolution drops obviously but I'm still glad I did it. I have been taking advantage of the warmer weather and super clear skys I have been having and over the past couple of days I have completed one of my longest exposures yet and the result is really really good espesially with how full the moon was. I'm really happy with this one and it has convinced me to take on more challenging objects.
