Description

NGC2207 and IC2163
Two merging galaxies in Canis Major.
Actually this object was not on my list but I needed something for the second half of the night.
Seeing was great this week and very stable, always between 0.9" and 1.4" at worst.
Usually my lrgb images are all unguided, but we have a great multista rguiding in Sequence now  so this one is guided.
I also extended the subexposure lenght for the rgb subs to 4 min. seems to be slightly better.
Hope you like it.
Wolfgang
