Description

JWST continues to give, and give, and give.
The data files for M74 was released today and people are already all over them!
Most photos you see of M74, including ones I've taken before, show the galaxy in a typical blue tone. Today I wanted to process the images differently and chose a warmer palette.

This is a composition of two image stacks:
Stack 1: Four mid-infrared camera images
Stack 2: Four Near-infrared camera images

The Mid-IR images gave all of the beautiful swirls of the galaxy, and the Near-IR picked out the red nebulae and background stars.

In both stacks I used the shortest wavelength images for red, longest for blue, and then various shades of orange, yellow or green for the middle wavelengths.
