Hi folks, Phil has sent us four new images, detailed below. Our
photographers have been experimenting with some new processing software,
and as you may have noticed in the photos lately, we're all the
beneficiaries. Here are some more great examples. You can check out these
latest photos here https://gaac.us/gallery-2/phil2/, the last four at the
bottom.

Phil's notes:

• NGC 2841 - the Object of the Month, in Ursa Major. NGC 2841 is known
  as a flocculant galley because its arms are patchy and loosely defined. Of
  note, I didn't crop the galaxy tightly because an interesting galaxy
  group appears on the left.

• NGC 3226-27 - This dramatic pair of interacting galaxies rides the
  back of Leo. They are small, so I could only enlarge them slightly. At
  least 4 distant galaxies are seen in the sky background.

• M83 - sparked by Mario's image, I reprocessed my M83 with Blur
  XTerminator. The detail, thanks to this process, is almost Hubble-like.

• M74 - I also reprocessed this nice face-on galaxy in Pisces. While it
  resembles M101, M74 is smaller and fainter and a challenge when trying to
  bring out clear detail, even with Blur XTerminator.

Phil:  All great images and great use of Blur.  I got a new computer and looking forward tousing Blur.

NICE, re: both!
We have had some very clear nights.Venus and the moon were striking when near each other last week,in the NW. I could not have seen it from my drive if there were leaves on the trees.
