M74 (The Phantom Galaxy)
M74 (The Phantom Galaxy) was one of the first targets of JWST. This image is from my backyard in Long Beach, CA using a Celestron Edge HD 925 at focal length 535 mm with Hyperstar. I used Optolong LRGB filters with an Atik 414-EX camera to get the following stacks:
L channel: 178 25 s exposures
R channel: 65 75 s exposures
G channel: 59 75 s exposures
B channel: 60 75 s exposures
Preprocessing in Nebulosity with dark, bias, and flat frames. Registration, stacking, channel combination, and initial processing in PixInsight. Photoshop and Topaz Labs for final processing and noise removal.
