Description

The sunflower galaxy was one of my main goals for this "winter" early year season. 
Its still not perfect due to poor seeing and optical conditions and total lack of integration for the outer "galaxy halo" but its an awe-inspiring object to look at. 
Hopefully the weather improves and I have more galaxies as good as this to shoot.
