Description

I took some old data of NGC3628 to see if I could bring out it's tidal tail. I could - just, but it's exceedingly faint and only just above the noise floor in much of the image. It was very difficult to separate and I had to push the data to it's limits. This generated a lot of background noise which is still evident in places.
