Description

This is my 3rd try at the Pinwheel Galaxy and all 3 look the same except for scale. This is also the most total time I have spent on a single target.

Reprocess mid March 2021: I managed to squeeze a bit more color out, along with smoothing out the background which seems extremely difficult to do with this target in average or bad seeing.
