Description

Here is a second image from a recent camping trip to the Mogollon Rim at a Bortles 2 site. It's been a while since I imaged this pair of galaxies. I am very happy with the ASI 533MC Pro performance in capturing galactic detail and color as well as the faint streams feeding into the galaxies.
