Description

This beautiful pair of galaxies is about 150 million light years away. The distance between galaxies is just 600 thousands light years, 4 times less than from Milky Way to Andromeda. The edge-on NGC 5908 looks similar to M104 Sombrero.

The data has been gathered in April-July 2022.
Photometric color calibration with G8V star as white reference.
