Description

Shooting from light-polluted suburban Milwaukee is not conducive for most galaxies. The faint outer arms are often lost in the glare, especially in my southern sky which is flooded with light.  But the central area of this galaxy is bright and offers some unusual detail. So shooting at 2350mm of focal length at f/10 offered the reach I needed for detail. Perhaps shooting over several nights will improve.
