Reprocessed 2024: Now … this reprocessing was really worth it. This one brought more galaxies to light than the one before.

My 2023 photo of the 21.000.000 LJ away Pinwheel Galaxy. Significantly sharper structures and rounder stars. These are the improvements of the new workflow.
UGC 5470 – Leo I Dwarf Galaxy
The Leo I dwarf galaxy is a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, located approximately 820,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation Leo. It reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight around February 19th.
Messier 31 – Andromeda Galaxy
The Andromeda Galaxy, located in the constellation Andromeda approximately 2.5 million light-years away, is the closest large spiral galaxy to the Milky Way and reaches its annual culmination at astronomical midnight in early October. Around the 5th of October.
Even this very special astrophoto looks better with the new workflow in 2024.
The 2024 workflow on the nicely framed Bodes-, Cigar- and Garland-Galaxy picture from 2022. The details are much clearer, especially on the Cigar Galaxy.
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.
A group of 5 galaxies. The frames were shot with an EOS M100(a) at a 600mm refractor telescope in march 2022. Reprocessed 01/2024.
I just re-processed my November-Data. My first Galaxy-Photo with DSLR OSC with H-Alpha Layer.
Messier 81 – Bode’s Galaxy
Messier 81 is a spiral galaxy with a diameter of about 90,000 light-years and a distance of about 12 million light-years from Earth.
