astro mick Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 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. Mick. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bomberbaz Posted April 7, 2021 Share Posted April 7, 2021 look at the star forming going on as a result of the ongoing merger, the gravitational tidal currents must be amazing. Great pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
