About this image

Imaged over 2 nights with the sharpest frames integrated. They are an interacting pair as can be clearly seen from the wisps of stars and gas between the two. NGC7469 is a Seyfert type I so I did try capturing Ha, but after 2 hours nothing seemed to stand out so I stopped, and captured more RGB.

Pushed the main target off centre to capture as many background galaxies as possible.
