Description

What used to take me days to image now takes weeks! I guess I'm concentrating more on one object plus the weather is still not cooperating! 40 - 50 million light years away, this galaxy has an incredible tidal loop involved with it that can only be seen in really deep exposures. I did not expect to see any of this in my Red Zone images!
