Description

I have always wanted to image the Antennae galaxies but with only 920mm focal length I wasn't hoping for much. In spite of really bad seeing, mediocre transparency and knowing I could only get a couple of hours integration before my western tree line would end my evening - I went ahead (I had to -- it was new moon time). In spite of really bad guiding I was OK with the result.
