About this image

6 hours of integration allolwing for 2x drizzle to obtain more detail. Although M90 and IC3583 are described as interacting galaxies, it is by no means certain that they are or have interacted in the past. Although only separated by 100,000 light years, the difference in radial velocity (~1,300 Km/s) makes a previous interaction unlikely
