This is 6x15minutes of the Siamese Twins, a pair of colliding galaxies in Virgo. The seeing tonight was the best it has been so far (at least since I put in the ST-10 on the C14). Minimal processing, just some histogram adjustments and a mild unsharp mask in Photoshop.

Beautiful pic Ron!
Lots of detail, and also lots of surrounding galaxies...

Thanks for sharing!

P.S.
Do they have an NGC number or an identifier number?
