Description

This is a tough galaxy to process. In one hand you want to reveal all the detail possible, but in the other hand, revealing it in excess makes the galaxy look innatural. Plus, I had problems with collimation so the stars look really funky. In the end, this is a beautiful target and an overlooked one even here in the southern hemisphere.
