Description

Well I keep getting clear nights, although the weather is due to break tomorrow. So, taking my chances last night, I managed 43 subs of this at 5 minutes long each - integration time just over 3.5 hours. I used my DSLR and my 8" reflector for this. I am pleased with the result, although I know I am pushing the data a bit. I am especially pleased to have brought out a little of the faint tidal arm just coming off NGC 4747 [to the left of the main galaxy], which is caused by a tidal interaction with the spiral of the main galaxy - NGC 4725.
