Description

Just learning to use the general hyperbolic equations for stretching  - awkward to use at first, but I am liking the results - managed to keep stars contained and place contrast where I wanted it.  Overall pleased with the result.
L(24x120s),RGB(3x24x150s),Ha(24x660s)

This galaxy is chock full of Ha areas - lots of star forming areas, in addition to being the host of an extraordinary amount of supernovae.
