Description

Searching around for new targets I can image with my Meade 12" ACF I came across this unusual galaxy ...not sure what's going on but looks like one or more companion galaxies are interacting with it...alsmost looks like one sprial arm is being "peeled" outwards.

A mix of Lum at 45s exp, RGB at 90s and Ha at 300s... Ha didnt seem to add much here though.

Stacked and processed into APP - I've started doing LP reduction  for the individual channels in APP before combining and also before outputting as unstretched layers into Startools for separate processing. Outputs into PS CC further processed as starless using StarXterminator and then reintroducing stars.

Not really happy with the stars here...next time think I'll do some shorter exp RGB just for stars.

Anyway sure is a weird looking galaxy :-)
