Helps one to visualize the process of interaction between the two galaxies.

Very best,

If you can't see that tail-loop in the main colour image, you ain't got yer monitor calibrated properly for brightness/contrast mate , it stands out nicely on both my monitors and the ones at work, particularly if the room isn't too bright

No, there are very few images out there that show this faint tail/loop actually
