Description

Galaxy season went quickly this year, due to lots of cloudy nights.  But I did manage to find some holes in the clouds in early March for this pair of galaxies that have been on my to-do list for a while.  I had to throw away more than half of my data because of clouds, which left only about 8 hours left, but I'm pleased with the result, particularly given the light polluted conditions from Phoenix.
