NGC 4321.... by Hubble

Decided to trawl the Hubble Legacy Archive while waiting for clear skies.

Maybe a bit over the top....


Fire away!

Ps. Many thanks to member Josh Lake for advice on how to understand the HLA

Looks great! Happy to help, and I hope that it got a bit easier to work with once you knew some of the tricks.

Fun data to work with, isn't it? Is this a bi-color combo? I recommend pushing the saturation a bit more because I think the color is in there.

If you haven't yet, be sure to check out the Antennae Galaxies -- that makes for quite a rich image.

Thanks Josh. Yes, a lot of fun data there. Excellent for practicing PI on. But a LOT to wade through before finding anything suitable for a beginner.

This is a bi-color combo, yes. There was a third file named _total. I used that as lum. Don't know if you are supposed to do so 
Will try to up the saturation a bit and see what happens.

The rest of the files can be seen in the pic.

Whoa! Somewhere in between those two color saturations might be just right!

Yes, I've used the total as a luminance before with some good results.

I like it. It is bold.  And besides. No one has seen this object this close for real. Maybe this is what it looks like.
