ASTRO: NGC 2715 (galaxy in Camelopardalis)

Not to be confused with NGC 2175 (the monkey head nebula) NGC 2715 is a
medium sized galaxy in Camelopardalis.
Colour channels looked decent, but still I wasn't able to get decent colour
out of them. Maybe I should blame the murky skies ;-)

Taken from the middle of Berlin with a 10" Meade ACF at f/8 on a G11 mount,
Atik 383 camera, 24x5 minutes L, 12x5m each RGB, all binned 2x2.

A bit M106 like. I wondered why, with its south extended arm bright and
the north one much fainter it hadn't made my To-do list then saw it was
at 78 degrees. That puts it well into my Polaris trees.

I've found that even with normalization gunk ruins my color one time and
another no problem. Can't fathom why.
