Description

This is Messier 64 taken from May 6-8.
There is 220 minutes of L data (10 minute subs).
There is a total of 280 minutes of RGB data (20 minute subs).
It is combined to LRGB in photoshop.

My earlier L-only M64 was stretched log(log()) and I think that was too much and detracted from the central feature of the galaxy.
This is log() stretched.

There is some unfortunate reflection from a star off to the left.
