Description

One last night of imaging before the storm rolls in. I imaged this interacting pair 3 years ago with my C6. Even though the dataset is limited, the EdgeHD 8 with a bit more experience under my belt did a much better job this time around. The 160 million light year distance and small size required a mega crop to zoom in on the main attraction.

Description: I had trouble with gradients on the first version so I reprocessed using the Astro Pixel Processor light pollution removal tool before handing off to Pixinsight for final processing. APP seemed to tame the problem a lot more so I cropped in a bit tighter on this version.
