Antennae and friends

Hello,

This is a wide field image of the Antennae colliding galaxies. This would be very fun at longer focal lengths but the tidal tails are interesting when you consider what is going on. I was able to dig out a few details in the core area using MSDLB. I am impressed by the amount of background galaxies in this region. This is was a great target to shoot from southern AU.

Thanks for looking . . .

Kindest Regards,
