NGC 6684 - Galaxy

The image hasn't much color, althought the few images in Internet haven't natural color, too.

Some stars have some tendence to red, but as I haven't nothing for comparison... I will let as it is.

This is another that needs more time of exposition.

That's a cute one too. Looks like another ring galaxy.

I reckon you should have left the bright Pavo star in the shot though for "framing".

Yes and no, Kevin. The galaxy is very faint, if I left the star, very bright, it would be like blown !
To sharp and get a reazonable shape of galaxy I needed to process hard. And the galaxy was my goal.

I can have both together, but the process would be more complicated.

The best pictures are always more complicated.

Nice one Jorge, very tiny. I love these not very often imaged objects you keep coming up with. Well done.
