This galaxy has caught my attention. It is not as picturesque as some of the others, but on May 5 a supernova was discovered that is growing in brightness. I am in awe that we can witness an event like this from 52 million light years away!

Very nice image. I'm capturing it tonight but I'm sure mine will not be that good. Thanks for sharing.

I’d like to see how yours turns out. Mine is actually 2 consecutive nights. The first night was Luminance and RGB, the second I added more RGB and some Hydrogen-alpha to bring out some galaxy detail.

Yours is much better. It looks like you've got a bit more focal length and more time in yours. I've only got 15 minutes of LRGB each. Plus your processing skills are obviously better. Here's mine.
