Description

The Antennae Galaxies (also known as NGC 4038/NGC 4039 or Caldwell 60/Caldwell 61) are a pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation Corvus. They are currently going through a starburst phase, in which the collision of clouds of gas and dust, with entangled magnetic fields, causes rapid star formation. Shot with my sharpstar sca 260 and QHY268M shot in LRGB very pleased with the results 8 hours worth of integration time, Final process and editing in Pixinsight!!
