M86 and Friends Final Image.

I had more time to do the processing on this one, here is the final
for this shot in full size and resolution.
I tried to bring out more of the galaxies in the frame, now you should
be able to count at least 22, but there are more but they are small!

Hope you like this one, I feel it is about as good as I can make it.
I am posting a smaller version of it here too.

Super nice final results.

In order to get my high galaxy counts, I brought your image into photoshop, scaled it to overlay this identically:

And then flipped A/B between them.

MANY galaxies then appear as validly captured in your image which you may have said... is it?? isn't it?? With the cheat sheet they are obvious.

I also flipped back and forth between normal and inverted colors which helps at times.

Good enough to hang up on your wall! You've come a long way.

nice chain, Floyd!

Great job Floyd!!! It's been great to see your progress!!

Hope all is well,

Nice shot, Floyd! I wish I had been as productive as you were last night! I only got 30 minutes of LRGB (including this one) before the clouds shut me down.

Glad to see you had fun!
