| Description | This was a revisit due to CNN October '25 challenge. I decided to use the 2600 camera in bin 2. A night that started clear and ended mostly cloudy. It took 2.5 hours to capture the 51 minutes. It appears to be a young-ish spiral galaxy that has merged with a much older lenticular galaxy. The two are at different angles, and there is a ring of star-forming regions and dust that appears to completely encircle two galaxies at a roughly 45° angle to the original orientation of the spiral. It's a tough target for an OSC camera, even the 2600. |
