Galaxy-eating monster CG4
Not a pretty sight! But unusual...
Of course the galaxy is about 100Mly distant, and the cometary is 1300ly.
This image awaits more data, as it is surprisingly faint. The cloud barely showed up on the colour subs.
Shot under fair conditions - windy, SQL 20.9, seeing 3".
ASA10N at f/6.8; Moravian G3-16200; Astrodon filters; ASA mount.
4 hours total exposure, L,R,G,B 1 hr each all binned x2. Plate scale 1.4"/px. FOV approx 40' x 32'
