Description

M88, a galaxy about 55m light years away in the constellation Coma Berenices. Imaged from my backyard in Redmond, WA on April 17th 2021. The image is a stack of 37 LRGB images for a total integration time of about 1 ½ hours. I was using the SGP grading tool and decided to exclude the lowest graded images (by HFR), which seemed to me to produce a cleaner result.
