About this image

4 hours of integration under a 76% moon. In my continuing quest to see how well the SeeStar S50 can image Arp galaxies I moved my attention to the beautiful Arp214 in Ursa Major. Its nice to see that the dust lane is clearly visible along with the S-shape of NGC3718, although the fainter outer halo has not been picked up. Also pleased to see the very small interacting galaxies of Arp322 just underneath NGC3718
