Description

The Whale and Hockey Stick Galaxies.

This image frame has really stuck out to me ever since I saw Trevor Jones image it long ago. I've always liked this galaxy pair for some reason, so I had it on my list, and Now was just the perfect time to it get while it was nice and high!

This was also a test of a new telescope prototype. The Starfield ED102 f/7

7 subs of each LRGB filter

600 seconds each

Special thanks to Tom Butts for processing it for me. I didn't have the time, and I really wanted to see what it looked like.
