Saw this interesting object at SPSP, and was known as the Antennae Galaxy to those that viewed it. Made a mental note to image it one day. Also known as the ring-tail and comma galaxy.

Found out that it is actually an interacting spiral pair. And at ~60 million light years distant, now takes the record for my most distant object imaged! Mag is ~10.7.

Taken from my light polluted back yard.
6x4mins shots with 300D. Webcam guided using ST80 & K3CCDTools. Star-mate for guide interface & exposure control.
C8 @ f/10. I had guiding errors as I was only guiding at f/5.
