I've had a time with this Galaxy collecting the data I think I need to get a real nice detailed image . I been referencing my handbook and taking suggestions from yall and I hope I'm getting closer to my goal. This has data from last year and this year to date @ 20s 30s and 45s L and 20s , 30s RGB so far . Guided on 30s and 45s so far so good.

I’ve always found this to be a tough target. I always get lots of core, but little of the wispy arms. It looks like you got the arms. I just spent a bunch of time on it. I have to process it yet.

I took your advice Brian and added more L data, processing takes a lot of time . I have to walk away from it all the time .I'm looking forward to see the awesome detail you pulled on this target Brian . Which camera did you use?
