Description

Interacting galaxies cataloged by Halton Arp. NGC 5754 is the large galaxy. NGC 5752 is next to it with the long trail of stars off to the right. Above is 5755 and then 5753.

One night only of 7.5 min subs. These are small galaxies so this image is cropped by more than 50%. I would have cropped more but I wanted to include the interesting star trail from NGC 5752. NGC 5754 or Arp 297 is a mag 13 target and only about 2 arc-min across.

I really wrestled with the color. My XISF and Tiff images have better color representation. When I convert this image to a JGEG, it gets much bluer. Anyone have a way to prevent the JPEG color shift?
