Description

After a long time I returned to this great galaxy. This time I also wanted to capture the approximately 300,000 light-year long tidal tail... :-) That's why I used my fast Epsilon, which surely reached its resolution limit here with the fine details in the Galaxy's core structure. I think it was worth it: The tidal tail is clearly visible and forms together with the "hamburger" a unit, which cannot be confused.
