Description

Was triggered by info. in/from a DK astro forum to try to catch this faint / long away / distant object.

Arp 148 is the result of two colliding galaxies located app. 500 million light years away from earth.

More info. about Arp 148 please check this link, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mayall%27s_Object

Exposure details, Luminance:

16" SCT, FFC = 31x300sec. WO FLT-110: 25x300sec+28x120sec

A FFC was used to increase the 16" SCT FL.

My home build observatory is placed in my front yard/in the "red light" pollution zone, have a look here,
