I'll contribute my latest pic. Arp 336 which has the rare characteristic of being a "polar ring" galaxy. Taken with a C11 operating at f/11.4 (~3220mm) 12 x 10 min subs with a ST8-XME. Winter just will not let go this year in MN. Couple of rare, clear, moonless nights and the temp was a balmy 20 degrees ABOVE zero!

Arp's are fun to capture as they usually have some interesting shapes.

Very nice Chris! I love the Arp & Peculiar galaxies, just don't have the FL for them...yet.

My folks are still in MN, don't know why!

This is COOL! The polar ring shows up well.
