Data: Hubble Space Telescope / Hubble Legacy Archive
From NASA: “NGC 5793 is a spiral galaxy over 150 million light-years away in the constellation of Libra. This galaxy has two particularly striking features: a beautiful dust lane and an intensely bright center — much brighter than that of our own galaxy, or indeed those of most spiral galaxies we observe.
NGC 5793 is a Seyfert galaxy. These galaxies have incredibly luminous centers that are thought to be caused by hungry supermassive black holes — black holes that can be billions of times the size of the sun — that pull in and devour gas and dust from their surroundings.”
Processing, I downloaded set of channels used for color (475nm and 775nm) from Hubble Legacy Archive. I also created an artifical Green channel for possibility of RGB combination. Standard Pixinsight workflow bring me to this final image, with a lots of cosmetic corrections that was present on the RAW files.
My goal was to create very deep-sky looking image with dark background and just galaxy in it.
