Description

April 21, 2023. NGC 4038 and NGC 4039.  C5 at 842mm focal length with UV/IR block filter on 533MC.  CEM26 mount. 87 minutes in 60 sec subs. Very poor sky transparency. Targets very low toward the southern horizon near city lights. The "antennae" projecting from the galaxies could not be imaged because of the poor sky transparency.  I hope to do better in the future but at least this is a start and my first attempt at imaging these interacting small galaxies.
