Fireworks Galaxy imaged on 4/5 August, Skywatcher Esprit 150 on AZEQ-6, ZWO ASI1600mono. 13x120s each of LRGB, processed in Pixinsight and Photoshop CS6.

Thanks for looking

That's a very nice image of this galaxy.

The background looks dark and clipped. Try lowering the black point a little. In PixInsight, I avoid clipping any pixels during processing. Only at the very end do I bring the black point in.

Thanks Wim, had a quick rework as you suggested. looks better I think.  More data to be gathered and added over the coming weeks.
