Description

A lovely low surface brightness face-on spiral galaxy accompanied by a group of edge on spirals.

That bright blue star to the right of NGC 2805 is 9th magnitude 1white dwarf SDSS J092029.94+641217.1.

A few objects went noticeably green sometime before I increased the saturation in the image. The color balance seemed right initially, so I am not sure what happened. I may re-color correct the image at some point.

Description: Fixed some color distortions in some stars caused by a poorly executed de-convolultion step that caused some stars to turn green. One faint galaxy that came out green at the bottom is still stubborn, so maybe a hot pixel distorted the color?
