Also, that sweep of stars looks reddish in this composite which doesn't seem right.

I would have thought it would be whitish like so many other galaxies with star sweeps.

Hi Greg

Did you look at Robs full size version, at his site? There is some good res in there, including stellar resolution in the faint arc The outer arc colour is a function of the filters used to capture it.
