Description

The Siamese Twins (NGC4567 and NGC4568) is pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation of Virgo. The pair appears to be in the early stages of gravitational interaction as evidenced by radio astronomy study of the interacting pair. The image was made with an 8 inch RC telescope. It was tricky to process this image because of the balance between neutralizing background and preserving some detail in the galaxies disks.
