Description

With lots of luminance acquired during my Sombrero Galaxy (Deep) project looking for tidal streams...

Sombrero Galaxy (Deep)

... I thought I'd spend another night acquiring RGB to produce this "Deep with color" version.

With 30 minute subs, the core is saturated. Given that, HDR processing to expose the core is minimized.

I primarily focused on stretching the surrounding space for a more "big picture" view of this wonderful galaxy.
