CG4 The hand of God AKA the giant space slug

This has to be the most difficult target I have imaged so far and it needs a lot of data as it is faint and not well catalogued.

CG4 the hand of God or as a fellow Astrophotographer (Logan) would like to call it, The Giant Space Slug

It looks like it's devouring that galaxy called PGC 21338 or as I would like to call it, Lunch!

22x15 minute subs I think it needs triple that as it needs a LOT of data. Especially in Bortle 6 skies

ZWO 294MC Pro

ASIAIR

TS_Optics 130 APO riccardi reducer 0.75

Optolong L-Ultimate

Skywatcher NEQ6 belt modded and guiding on average at 0.3-0.6 which for this scope and time was excellent.

There will be updates when we have the next run of clear weather
