That's a beauty.

Amazing those 2 long tails of stars. Those galaxies are now spread over a vast amount of space.

Sweet shot Joe! Great detail... especially for such a short exposure.

Beautifully done, Joe. I'm guessing you got every bit possible out of that data. (And I'd love to see that 'scope!)
