ARP273 is two interacting galaxies, 300 million light years away. As far as I can find out about 2.6 arc minutes across. So I am pushing this image from Pier 1 @Roboscopes in Spain (AD250 f6.8 Dall-Kirkham 1678mm FL, ASI 294 MM Pro, 10 Micron GM1000). Still not bad I think. Good to see what you can do from a terrestrial scope of modest dimensions. Not the greatest image i have ever produced, but satisfying.

Processed PixInsight. 3.5hrs Blue, 4.4hrs Green, 3.8hrs Red.
