Description

Arp 104, a.k.a. "Keenan's System", catalogs the galaxy pair NGC 5216 & NGC 5218, connected by a bridge of galatic material spanning across 22000 light years. There are also numourus large or small galaxies scattering around in this area of sky, one of them is NGC 5205, a decent-sized spiral galaxy on the upper-left of the FoV.

This is a fight against constant bad seeing & not-well-collimated scope, and I am still on the way learning processing galaxies. Definitely an interesting (pair of) target, and fun to process & reveal the interacting dynamics here.
