Actually, I only shot this galaxy 1 year ago now, almost to the day...how time flies (In contrast to my rather safe static collection, your setup has evolved considerably since then  )

Happy NGC289 birthday!
I didn't notice the lack of colour. I just boosted it subtley. Not a lot of colour there in the first place so don't want to make it look artificial. I had a lot of attention on controlling colour noise and missed it wasn't that saturated.
Same link.
