Description

I wanted to live-stack for longer to better see the faint arm/tidal tail that sweeps up and around this galaxy from about 6 o'clock clockwise to 3 o'clock. I was running out of nighttime fast when I captured this image so had to stop at only 5 minutes of stacking. The galaxy appears distorted because of it interaction with its small companion, NGC 770.
