Description

Not to commonly imaged on its own, here is my version of M66. I am trying to show some of the Halo around M66 without bringing out too much noise. I wanted to show some of the subtle beauty in this galaxy that's part of the Leo triplet. I like the contrasting dust lanes and Halo around the galaxy I was able to pull out. let me know what you think!

Clear Skies

Dan.
