Description

A rather small target to capture. Really interesting shape and there's a bonus spiral to the right. Quite a few tiny background and elliptical galaxies as well. It was a tough call to crop some of those tiny objects to frame the main targets better.

LRGB, APS-C with a refractor - a longer focal length might have made stars soft and with this small galaxy, I was betting on sharper image being a better tradeoff instead of a larger target.
