| Image Details | Up is 180.5 degrees E of N. Total integration time was 42m. Exposures 30s@305g, UV/IR Cut Filter. Darks subtracted, no flats. Dithered and recentered in SharpCap. No guiding. |
| Description | Another surprisingly good capture given a waning moon just a couple of days past full. Luckily aiming directly away. These galaxies are astonishing. Two appear so well advanced that they have a single NGC number instead of two consecutive, or, as you see often an A/B. They both seemed to be irregular barred galaxies that, by this point, have merged galactic centers. The dwarf IC 694 seems to be sucked in from the bottom of the image as well. |
