Description

Classic image of two galaxies 12 million light years distant from earth.
This is a combined image of data taken in  April 2020 with ASI1600MM and Baader Ha(7nm), LRGB filters and data aquired March/April 2022 with a ASI2600MC with no filter.
I have a lot of LP from my back garden and any hope of capturing IFN that surrounds this area was gone due to aggressive LP removal in APP and gradients removed with DBE.
Last image of this season, I am not really a galaxy imager and as astro darkness rapidly shrinks away, I will pack up and enjoy the summer evenings before getting out again probably late July/August.
