Description

Imaged with Paul Kummer. RASA 8, ASI2600MC Pro, Avalon Linear. 4 hours in 30 min subs.

A cosmic dance traced out in space. Once again the RASA made light work of the extremely faint tidal tails, which were agonizingly elusive with a slower CCD system. This is a very close crop presented at full size.
