Hi Fred,

Nice detail.

To me the colour is off. The core is magentaish whereas the core actually is yellowish.

The main disk really is more brownish with yellow hues. I have seen various renditions of this galaxy but the one I like the best is R Jay Gabany's.

He tends to be heavy with saturation so that is fine if others don't agree but his 253 is one of the absolute bests. Rob Gendler has one as well and he usually is pretty accurate with his colours.

I did not know colour create in CCDstack can clip colour histograms.

There is also some Ha in the disk if you have any Ha.

Greg.
