This is a nice face on galaxy located in the constellation Camelopardalis. Its location in the sky keeps it in my light pollution dome for most of its transit. This was shot over two nights. I collected the first color set on the 21st and finished with both the luminance and second color set on the 22nd. This one took quite a few hours to process while attempting to remove gradients and light pollution. |
