DSLR image using the 130mm telescope in the Kchi Waasa Debaabing Dome at the Killarney Provincial Park Observatory Complex. The image has been colour enhanced to bring out differentiating details in the core and spiral arms. In addition, the program starnet++ was used to remove all stars to better enable processing on the galaxy. The stars were recombined during post processing in Photoshop but are significantly dimmer than in standard images to bring out the subtle details of the galaxy. Image.
