Description

Messier 64 with integrated Flux Nebulae

M64 was discovered by the English astronomer Edward Pigott. It is located 17 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Coma Berenices and is best observed in May. With an apparent magnitude of 9.8, the Black Eye galaxy can be spotted with a moderately sized telescope. Integrated flux nebulas are a relatively recently identified astronomical phenomenon. In contrast to the typical and well-known gaseous nebulas within the plane of the Milky Way galaxy, IFNs lie beyond the main body of the galaxy.

Processing this region was quite hard as the brighter stars were hiding the  faint nebulosity so had to use a very different workflow for this region
