Description

Finally several successive nights without clouds and without moon. Unfortunately the wind was very strong, so I decided to bring out my little 5 inch Newton (I call it "The Baby"), which is much more stable on the EQ6-R as it's 10" "Mother".

As the galaxy season has started I wanted to image an interacting pair.

One hour integration is by far not enough, and with my defective knowledge of post processing this is all I could get.

Due to the fact that the baby is just 5" and f/5 I am very pleased with the result and try to capture some other galaxies in the next nights.
