Peter, Lee, Chris, thanks very much for the kind words.

Teaser: We've since added another night of colour, and reprocessed it without any of the old Aspen stuff. It now shows that the tip of the south-eastern antenna has clumpy blue patches. Tonight we were all set to add a night of 2x2 binned data to get the extreme faintest parts of the tidal tails, but the seeing and transparency are off and it is threatening to rain in the morning. Might have to be next month.
