      Description

      Arp 104 aka Keenan's system. Interacting galaxies joined by a galactic bridge of material, along with few other galaxies in the FoV, biggest of which is NGC5205

      10" newt back in action in full since this image Took me some time to process some other images to get to this one, and I gotta say, for me personally, this galaxy looks amazing, really love the way it turned out there are minor issues as per usual though. I could have gotten more RGB frames, more L frames and that core of the galaxy is just screaming for more resolution Lot's and lot's of background galaxies and faint stars. Using Astrometrica, I found few mag 24.0 stars, so that's pretty great
