We have had the data for this image since May
The galaxy itself seemed to be very dim and dark and I tried three or four times to process it but I just couldn't extract much from our data for some reason.
So I just left it unprocessed.
Last week was cold rainy weather so I thought I would give it one more try.
Well I don't know what happened. Maybe all my cogs and wheels were switched on and turning in the old brain
but I managed to extract the detail that had eluded me previously.
So the old saying " when at first you don't succeed try try again.
I did and it worked for me
So here it is after waiting for 5 months to be processed.
