Hi All,
In line with post
http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...ad.php?t=31078
I now submit NGC5257/8 Arp240
10x5min-L & dark
3x5min 2x2bin RGB & dark

An alternative name of 'Punk Chicken' perhaps

?

Top work there Jeff. The faint wispy arm interaction between the two is impressive. Well done.

Racing off for the difficult i see, I have the ARP Atlas of Peculiar Galaxies by JKanipe and co , good read but still abit challenging for me to image too many at the moment.

By all means go for it, again good to see the unusual.

What a fascinating image Jeff, well done.

The interaction arm between the two has come up very nicely.

It's always great to see these unusual galaxies.

Cheers

Nice looking galaxies there. Was it taken with your new 12 incher?

Thanks for sharing this one. A good shot of the distorted arm. I must have a look at this catalogue.
