MicroObservatory Whirlpool Galaxy

I received three, unprocessed images from the MicroObservatory of the Whirlpool Galaxy: red, blue, and green filtered. By filtering each image with the auto Log setting I was able to brighten the actual galaxy and its dust enough to contrast it from the rest of the universe and various stars and galaxies which surround it. Then by enhancing the color of each photo, I stacked them, shifted the images to line up, and produced the JPG image above.
