Description

This is shot using equipment shared by me and Dhaval Bhrambhatt in Marathon, Texas (MaRIO).

I have always loved interacting galaxy pairs and will shoot everytime I get a chance. This is a nice, similar sized galaxies interacting with each other. The target is estimated to be 355 million light years using redshift measurement.

I was thinking of going deep on this target and again the weather has been absolutely horrible and I got nowhere with it. I finally decided (like I always end up doing) to process the data and archive it and collect more data when I get chance later. It at-least clears my workspace but I am not satisfied with the final results. The stars are not good, the colors are anemic, the details are not as crisp I was hoping for.
