Rarely has the new workflow made such a difference. The small companion of the Milky Way, the dwarf galaxy Leo I. Barely visible next to the star Regulus, also known by the beautiful designation BD +12° 2149, according to the Bonner Durchmusterung.
I just re-processed my November-Data. My first Galaxy-Photo with DSLR OSC with H-Alpha Layer.
