Hi.

An interesting Galaxy in Canes Venatici,it forms a pairing with the Galaxy NGC 4485.These two Galaxies are in the process of merging.

Did,nt get long on these due to weather(whats new).It is an LRGB composite,of about 1.5 hrs for each filter.I used two scopes to obtain the data.

Calibrated with bias daks and flats.

Processed in Photo-shop.

look at the star forming going on as a result of the ongoing merger, the gravitational tidal currents must be amazing. Great pic.

Cheers Steve.

Yes it must be some place,interestingly though no stars will collide during this upheavle.
