Summary

[edit]
Description

A beautiful spiral galaxy, flecked with blue clusters of young stars, and striped with intertwining dust.

I had to remove a rather significant red light scatter caused by a bright star just outside the field of view. Luckily it was almost completely contained in the red filter (it's a very red star) so I could borrow some data from the green filter to fill in where the glint was too harsh to remove otherwise.

Data from the PHANGS-HST program were used to create this image. archive.stsci.edu/proposal_search.php?mission=hst&id=...
