About this image

6 hours of integration on this tiny pair of interacting galaxies also known as NGC4211. The upper ellitical galaxy is only 1 arc min in diameter and the spiral galaxy is 1.4x0.3 arc mins at mag 15.5. I wanted to see if I could get the faint tail on the lower galaxy with enough data (400 subs of 30 seconds). Pleasingly this has again show what a smart telescope is capable of.
