Very nice Leo. You got a bit of star elongation this time. You normally have nice round stars. Tilt or the longer focal length showed up some tracking errors?
A great image of this beautiful galaxy. I really like the colours and the overall processing. Great work!
I noticed in the closeup there is what looks like a double star right on the dust lane in the lower left. This star seems much more sharpened than other stars of similar brightness in the image.
Do you see this galaxy visually? Even with my 10" Dob it is hard to see but that maybe brcause of the light polluted sky in Holland. My NELM is 5.5-6.0.
