Antenna galaxies NGC4038/4039. I've been struggling for sky time since I started this project in March. Transparency was not the best either. But I need to finish it so here it is.
I've also figured out why my bright stars are elongated 2 O'clock / 8 O'clock. It's caused by mirror slap vibration. The 1100D has no mirror lockup ability. The only way around this that I can think of is to take less subs per total integration time. Less mirror slaps = less artifacts. Or use another camera.
GSO 10" F4 Newtonian, Canon 1100Dfs, 565 x 30 and 45 sec subs for a total of about 5 hours.

From Wiki " The Antennae Galaxies, also known as NGC 4038/NGC 4039, are a pair of interacting galaxies in the constellation Corvus, 45 / 65 million light years away. They are currently going through a starburst phase, in which the collision of clouds of gas and dust, with entangled magnetic fields, causes rapid star formation. They were discovered by William Herschel in 1785.
