This is an image of NGC4038/39 which I took over the last new moon period. Seeing was ok most nights but I lost two nights due to poor seeing with winds coming from the north a lot of the time (warmer than usual conditions here in SA causing that). I am pleased with the detail level in the galaxies though.

There are a myriad of tiny back ground galaxies and clusters of galaxies to entertain. Additionally there is a faint hook in the tidal tail to the left which probably goes all the way back towards the cores.
