This is an amazing image by Rob Gendler using a robotic setup in W.A.

Nope its 37 and thats the universes final answer. Have you seen that particular asterism? It lies between Orions hand and the club. I will post the RA/DEC if you want, must first look it up again

Amazing detail, and the faint stuff in the background is awesome.

We come to expect nothing less from Rob Gendler.

Blimey that's a corker all right, the detail in the interacting section of the galaxies is superb.

Very impressive

Wow that is awesome,

there is nothing else to say, if that sort of image is my challenge for the future, I think I had better take up stamp collecting
