I had hoped to get more data on this one, but Mother Nature hasn't allowed it.
This galaxy is large but dim.
I made a synthetic luminance out of the RGBs in order to do some core sharpening on this image.

Thanks for looking,

Very nice, Dan! How long were your subs? I've started taking RGB's unbinned, and I'm wondering if my subs (5 minutes) are too short.

Nice image Dan. Reminds me of M33 with the color and the spotty Ha regions. Looks good to me!

Looks really good, I think you nailed the color perfectly.
