First go at the Antennae Galaxies

Hi Folks,
Hasn`t the weather been great for most of us on the east coast. Not getting much sleep but I am not complaining .
Well here is my attempt of the interacting galaxies known as the Antennae or ringtail galaxies NGC 4038/4039.
Not quiet up to Strongmanmike image but I don`t think it came out too bad?
The tails or antenna`s are only just visible but they are there!
Seeing was good but fog rolled in and out and as a conscience some frames were a bit dim and some were trashed when the guidestar faded away.
Ok, details are 20 x 6 min at iso 800 with 6" f/5.6 newt and modded Canon 300D. Guided with a elcheapo 70mm refractor and toucam using PHD software.
All comments are most welcome....
Cs Gary
