Description

If these two wonderful galaxies only would have a bit more of size.... the first time I saw NGC5905 was by a goto mistake, because of misaligment, even the camera was set only on 3 seconds. In reality I wanted to go to NGC 5907. While investigating on that little beauty, I found out that it has a beautiful sister nearby, which looks totally different. So it was clear, that I will try them together and here is the result....hope you like them too....

Description: While taking the luminance subs for this pic, I had a big meteor in one of them. It was the night of the lyrid shower maximum on 22nd of April and by investigating the direction it fits quite well to the radiant in Lyra.
