The Virgo/Coma galaxy supercluster

Polaris and the Integrated Flux Nebula
Noel Carboni put together a bunch of Polaris subs we had and I overdid the curves to pull out the very faint Integrated Flux Nebula (Galactic Cirrus) lurking in the background. Very surprised at the amount of Cirrus that came … Continue reading
