***Processing Information till now this has been the most difficult object to process, i spent more than 20+hrs processing this galaxy, i used Photoshop,ccd stack and pixinsight,structure pulling was mainly done by layers and mask, as it was quite dim so combination of noise reduction and masking helped a lot , adding more tone to structure was done in Pixinsight thanks to dear friend marcel for some final color correction. Ps : the signal was way to faint so only option was these
