Description

I decided to revisit a target that I imaged 2 years ago with my old 6SE. This time around, I have more experience and an upgrade to the EdgeHD 8, AM5 mount and Antlia filters. This is a striking target out of Hamilton Arp's catalog of "peculiar galaxies". This is Arp273 that shows the interacting galaxies UGC 1810 and UGC 1813.

With a distance of 300 million light years, this is a target that screams for more aperture. Surprisingly, the EdgeHD 8 still manages to capture a fair amount of detail.
