I wonder how disruptive it is to solar systems within these galaxies when they merge like this? I suppose most are not affected much as galaxies are mostly huge volumes of space but gravitational forces must slowly cause some changes.

Greg.
Many warm thanks Greg. As Colin later mentions, the stars tend not to hit each other, but the gas on the other hand does collide, and typically glows UV or even X-ray hot. Life on the surface of planets might get tricky, but it might be ok underground. Not on Earth though. The sun would be a red giant by then. So some other distant Coober Pedy.

Looking forward to seeing your CDK images. Your field is quite a bit wider than ours. You can fit in more of Bigfoot, or more of the Running Chicken, or more of the Rosette, etc.
