Are the stars in the galaxy a bit pink? It seems slightly mauve/pink around the arms and I am not sure if these are simply the active regions or a colour balance thing?

My favourite fuzzy is definitely the elongated S just above and to the right of PGC 34490.

Love your work. Especially with no flats, darks or bias nonsense.

Cheers

He he Cheers Chris

Yeah, I like that little S galaxy too, just think, probably has a few billion stars in it

Re the stars..? not sure, I can' see the pink stars on my monitor ..?..the HII regions along the arms and in the core are quite fine and star like though...?

Mike
