Greetings! After some more tinkering around with Photoshop, I came up with • a
pretty neat galaxy:

Just curious: For those of you with Photoshop, would anyone be interested • in
any of my "recipes" for the space images I've produced so far? If so, I'll
try to note the steps as I go along when I'm creating an image and post • them
here with link to the pic. I'm still learning of course and any • suggestions
for improvement are always welcome! :)


Looks good Dan, one thing though: spiral galaxies don't occur with a single
spiral arm. In fact, to an astronomy geek like me it kinda didn't look that
much like a galaxy...  :-(

Hm, actually it does have two arms. It's just that one is a bit bigger and
brighter than the other. Look on the opposite side of the 'big' arm.

Galaxies either have two symmetrically opposed arms:

With this one you can easily tell because of the angle.
