Description

The Antennae Galaxies are a pair of galaxies that are in the middle of a collision, with long tails of dust and stars ejected.  Getting the antennae from bright suburban skies is a challenge, but there is enough here to see what is happening.
There are a few small fuzzy galaxies in the shot, most notably the one in the bottom left.
