Description

I really like these two galaxies and I am pleased to have been able to image them last night. I am trying to make best use of the weather here at the moment - it is great for imaging. I managed to take 140 subs in luminance, 29 reds, 28 greens and 30 blues. They were one again, at 1 minute exposure time. This equals an integration time of 3 hours and 47 minutes. I hope you are all well, and thanks for looking...
