Description

I added another 4hrs 10mins worth of data to my previous image and did a total overhaul of the editing, Was able, with the additional data, to bring out the gas emanating from the central core region and get a better color, I think, of the galaxy itself. Didn't quite double the exposure time as is recommended to double your S/N ratio but I think it did a good job of adding more signal, but I guess I'm a little biased with my description.
