Hi,

Ok my L was quite bad, but I still thought I'd process it to see what it will be like if and when I get more L for the image.  The colours are good and there is only a little gradient.  The reason for chucking the L, or most of it, was because I re-focused half way through and the mirror shift has caused the Flats to be out of alignment, so the finer details has been lost.  Hopefully I'll get another go at it soon.

What a beautiful galaxy - I don't think I've ever seen it in colour before.
