I love the comparison between this and its neighbour NGC5053

I had a play with it in Photshop using my special technique of pushing buttons until something changes.

Probably cropped it too close and stretched it too far. But you'll see your own effort in a new light

Thanks for having ago Paul. Looking at this I may need more intergration time plus better PA 😁
