Technical Notes: Individual exposures were obtained using CCDAutoPilot2 and then sigma combined. The RGB image was created in Registar 1.0. A high-pass filter was applied to the galaxy portion of the image. Gaussian Blur of 1 pixel was applied to the RGB image. A duplicate of the RGB image was combined using Soft Light to increase color saturation.
