Description

This is the Antennae interacting galaxy pair with tidal stream showing. The colors are based on calibrated Sloan filters and show Hii regions in green, old stars in orange, and new stars in blue/purplish.

EdgeHD11 on cge-pro at 0.4" per pixel. fwhm's around 1.9" in the stacks. Downsampled x2 to 0.8" per pixel.

About 30x5m in each channel.

No processing other than gradient removal, levels, and slight color balance.

Suburban location with about 18.5 mag/arc-sec^2 makes it very hard to capture the tidal streams - but they are visible here.
