Description

These two galaxies are very often targets for astrophotographers but most times, noone exposes that long enough to get a glimps of the IFN which is around and between the two galaxies. This set shows also the IFN and how busy the area inbetween them is in reality. One should have exposed even longer to get and even better impression of the galactic cirrus.
The raw data were quite uneasy to work with - lots of column defects and satellite tracks on them and the exposure was not optimized for both - the IFN and the details in the galaxies. But with a lot of time spent, it was possible to get something which one can look at and be somehow happy - I guess....
