Description

This is a very challenging target indeed, I had to come back to this after spending couple of nights in Nov with LRGB data and then back in Jan to acquire Ha data to see if it brings out any detail or color.  Which it did. The central  core and arms have  good Ha data and adds to the character. However RGB integrated image appears to be pretty bland. The reason is the surface brightness for this extremely low and every night took me a while even getting it in the cross hair for the C14. I am sure this will be much brighter in dark skies unlike my Bortle6/7.  Also there are not a lot of star clusters in this galaxy which is not surprising given the low brightness.
