Antennae Galaxies NGC 4038/9

[Geoff]

This image combines data I took in 2016 and, more recently, at the April new moon this year. Seeing was never particularly good and there were problems with a star flare--you can still see some signs of it in the processed image. Quite a lot of data hit the trash can.

Great image, Geoff.  One of my favourite objects too.
