Arp 42, (Hickson 73, VV 7) in Bootes

In the early hours I manged this shot, despite the annoying wind (had to wait for a lull and then go for it. Desperate to do something in this terrible wet and windy spell.

The Arp pairing are the obvious  spiral (Hickson 73a) -NGC 5829 and its line of sight companion IC4526 (Hickson 73b).

NGC 5829 is 265 million lyrs away and its companion is 620 million lyrs away.

Well worth looking at professional images of the pair. I just started to get a hint of the star forming regions in NGC 5829.
