A face on look at a large spiral galaxy 21 million light year away with a trillion stars.
It's faint and 20 hours of imaging in my Bortle 8 sky is minimal...
PP mostly in Pixinsight.

You can certainly see how it got its name! Another amazing peep into the other world Dan.

Really cool shot, Dan! Is this your new focus avenue of photography?
Love how it draws you in, and there's enough detail there to intrigue the viewer.

Such amazing beauty-I am thinking how things in our little humble planet imitate the spiral.... this is just magical.
