Description

Another try from the Spring, finding the better exposure times for imaging. This is a set with 2 min exposures, which is by now not my favorite exposure time, but it is still worth processing, featuring the 2 main galaxies NGC 4298 and NGC 4302. NGC 4298 is a flocculent spiral galaxy located about 53 million light-years away and is a member of the Virgo Cluster. NGC 4302 is an edge-on spiral galaxy located about 55 million light-years away and is as well member of the Virgo Cluster. Cannot really see if they interact, at least from my image they seem not to. Not many sub frames, but at least I had some data left in those astro photography challenging times.
