Default ASTRO: Arp 134 A very familiar galaxy

Great image Rick! One nit though, there seems to be a lot of spurious
color in the halo; big green and red splotches.

Arp 134 is a galaxy very familiar to amateur astronomers being it is one
of the biggest and brightest galaxies in the sky and looks perfectly
normal to the eye and in most photos. I'm talking about the giant
elliptical galaxy M49.
