Description

Been wanting to shoot the Antennae Galaxies for a while ago and this week the opportunity appeared, as it was the perfect target to do before another one I have in mind and was "far" away from the Moon. It is a challenging target for my location, as it rises no more than 29º above the horizon, which makes it hard to drizzle and crop and look nice... Hence, decided for a more landscape approach and found out that it makes a nice trio along with NGC 4027 and the blue hot star 31 Crt, the major companion of the binary star TY Corvus.
Definitely not a eye-catcher photo but surely a nice cosmic landscape.
