Description

There are so many ways to crop the full frame original for this image. An extreme close up shows the beautiful NGC 3344 main subject, but loses some of the lovely tiny galaxies resolved at the edge of the frame. So for the Astrobin community, I decided on a compromise and choose a cropping that shows two tiny galaxies along the top and bottom right edges, and the main subject slightly off center. You can zoom in and see more details of NGC 3344 if you like, and there are lots more fuzzy galaxies throughout the frame. But those two galaxies on the right edge are very nicely resolved so be sure and take a closer look.

Would you have cropped it differently? Let me know. Enjoy!
