Splinter Galaxy

Hello forum,

to achieve this I had to put more night together like a puzzle, here weather seems to have stabilized just now.

This is the galaxy NGC5907 or Splinter Galaxy in Draco constellation. The colors were photographed in a windy but very clear night while galaxy passing exactly at the zenith. I pushed hard to give my personal interpretation to the data. I hope you enjoy it.

All the best,
Leo

Awesome sliver of a galaxy Leo, you managed to extract some nice detail.

Love the faint tidal tail too
