Description

A beautiful duo of galaxies five 8 minute (482 second) live-stacks of 321 1.5 second exposures were combined here to produce this image of this face-on barred spiral and edge on. Easier than trying to get Astrobin to accept a 1.5 second sub exposure length (it doesn't!)

NGC 5905 has some dim outer regions that would probably show up much better under a darker sky. I'll have to collect more data and add it to this image at some point.
