Description

A classic galaxy for the season that I overlooked for a couple of years. Now, armed with new skills and better tuned equipment, the time has come to revisit it. I used this opportunity to try a new method to add H-alpha data to my RGB image, mixing it with the red channel and also a small amount in the blue channel with PixelMath. I am quite pleased with the result.
