Description

Here is my second take on NGC 55 Whale Galaxy ... I've had the B52s stuck in my head for at least a couple of weeks now ("hop in my Chrysler, its as big as a whale"...)

This is a blend of images taken with three cameras through two telescopes, because I started it with a DSLR, then continued it with a cooled OSC, and then added some Ha and Luminance using a mono camera with filters.

Still not sure I'm happy with it, but I can't stare at it any more so here it is 🤣
