Arp 245 (ngc2992 and 2993)

This is a very cool object and surprisingly large and easy to grab from my light polluted backyard despite it being 100 million light years away. These guys are mag 13.1 and 13.2 and the interacting tidal streams are visible here, along with a whole host of faint background galaxies.
This is about 8 hours of LRGB using a QSI683 on the 16" f3.6 ASA Newt, and the full version is on my astrobin page at:
