Looks great Fernando. I like it. :thumbsup:

The galaxy itself looks great Fernando, but the bright background is a problem. Maybe a Background Extraction or a Levels adjustment could tone it down?

I used your image posted above and did a simple Levels adjustment in Photoshop - gets rid of the bright background and makes the galaxy stand out more.

Dear all,


thanks for all your comments. Makes all sense to try to get the background less bright. I will try to do that in Pixinsight.
