Description

Finally the clouds parted after a month. Looking for some new targets and saw this was in a nice place. Only 5 hrs of darkness this time of year in the Pacific Northwest, so I used all of it.

A little guy, but with lots of structure. Tried a different processing method -- created an iteration using PI HDR Multiscale transform (6 layers) to create a version with extreme spiral arm contrast, and blended it into the natural version in PS. Left it at full-field to show the other galaxy neighbors.
