Description

I think I over processed the original.

Please let me know your thoughts in the comments if I improved on this one, OR if I can improve any further?

Thanks in advance. 

This hobby never ceases to fascinate me how with consumer grade equipment, we can capture the marvels of the universe such as these 2 galaxies merging at 23 million light years awayTaken from my driveway in Anderson SC in a Bortle 6 sky and a Waning Gibbons moon phase and a combination of 5 ¼ hours of integration time.
