Ngc4038/4039

Hi

Attached is an image of the antennae galaxy pair ngc 4038/4039 (Arp 244)..

Taken from my home obs in the suburbs of Melbourne with a GSO RC14 + ASI2600MC OSC camera + EQ8 mount.

Total of 7hrs exposure and processed with APP.

Small full frame at 30% full size attached with a central crop at 70% size in low res; better image here for download (70% full size, full frame):

Seeing was good over the 3 sessions that this was taken & averaged below 1.8" with moments at <1.5"

I've been waiting for more clear skies to add more data to this, but it doesn't look like that is going to happen anytime soon.

Cheers
Maurice
