Not enough hydrogen accumulation, so the dust detail in the galaxy's center is lost. I inserted 0.3 from lextrem into the R channel. The weather isn't allowing much to show through either—the atmosphere is full of moisture. I'll wait for better weather and then aggressively reject all the existing data. By the way, last time I didn't mention that there was data from the 533 that needs to be updated.
