The Cigar Galaxy

This is the CIGAR GALAXY in the constellation Ursa Major.

 

Probably one of my favorite galaxies in the night sky, and a real pleasure to process.

 

For this image, I used Topaz Labs GigaPixel AI (bit.ly/GIGAPIXEL) to increase the resolution of this small DSO. I also enjoy the "Sharpen AI" plugin and use it often.

 

What do you think? 😃
