NGC4038 and NGC4039 - A collision of Galactic Proportions

Hi All,

The Antennae Galaxies, one of my favorite targets and I have been waiting awhile to try get this one.

I'm pretty happy with the result, I tend to find galaxies pretty difficult for various reasons, be it collection or processing, as I still have a fair bit to learn.

I found the tails to be extremely hard to figure out but there's enough there for me to be happy at least.

Anyway, hope you like it.

Image details:
Telescope: CDK 12.5
Camera: SBIG STT-8300
Composition: LRGB, 780:70:70:70. 16.5 hours total.
