Hello all,
This is an image of the galaxies NGC3347 and NGC3358. Two galaxies of completely different morphologies and each quite interesting to look at. I find it hard to determine which I like the most. However, I think NGC3347 holds the most interest. Mainly because it seems to have some interaction with the smaller galaxy (NGC3358) which shows a stream of blue stars appearing to be connected to each other. If you look around the field there are a myriad of fainter smaller galaxies to be seen too.
The image contains around 23 hours of data which 3 hours in each colour. It probably should have double of that to get those fainter interactions showing up brightly.

I hope you enjoy.
