Description

The Whale and Hockey Stick Galaxies.

My first time imaging this pair and the processing was tough. Once I got the complex gradient cleared (very nicely) buy using a very high density of sample points in DBE, the remaining processing was not my usual workflow and very simple. No deconvolution or noise reduction in PI. Just a small bump of NR in Photoshop.
I am okay with it for now, especially considering the processing issues. 

I hope that you like it!

Jim
