NGC 5078 LRGB. PNG format.. Free data set
A lovely data set that will produce a fantastic image for your collection.
WBPP Masters dropped into Autointegrate v1.78 by Jarmo Ruuth
This has had stars removed and BlurX used to do a High Pass sharpen.
I was sceptical about how this would look, plus I don't do galaxies. This data set has changed my mind.
