NGC 5793 (2014)

Messing around with this again. I worked with this data when I still had a lot to learn about processing. The old version is here. It should be easier to see the shape of the galaxy now. It’s not one of Hubble’s more striking images but I was interested in seeing how I would process this now compared to before. I didn’t even notice that the tips of the galaxy were slightly perturbed into a backwards S shape. I am also sure enough that the strange pattern just to the right of the galaxy is an anomaly so I removed it.

Red: WFC3/IR F160W + WFC3/UVIS F814W
Green: hst_11832_01_wfc3_uvis_f775w_sci
Blue: hst_11832_01_wfc3_uvis_f475w_sci

North is up.
