Description

After three weeks of cloudy nights, I took the chance of a three-hour window of clear skies to capture the pair of galaxies. With only 100 minutes of data, the images were not well defined and noisy as hell. Thanks to the new tricks I just learned with noise reduction in PixInsight I managed to make an image out of the poor data.
