Description

This project was intended to challenge me, because the intended subject was not actually the galaxies but rather the dim foreground IFN. It is a tough target to shoot, but I think it came out OK.

Edit: For version C/D, I thank Randy Lindstrom for reprocessing it all and determining the color-balance issues that led to less-than-par prior versions. I'm quite a bit happier with the version he came up. I took his work and spent some time bringing out the IFN a bit more and emphasizing certain things.
