Description

This was my first attempt at capturing the objects NGC 4567 and NGC 4568 (formally known as 'Siamese Twins'). I was shocked at how much detail came out in the cores of both galaxies, given such a wide field of view. I would definitely like to spend more time on these objects whereby the occupy a lot more of the frame. That said, it really is magnificent when you get to see the surrounding stars and other galaxies in a wider field. Humbled!
