This image reveals the full extent of the intriguing interacting galaxy pair in Corvus, known as the "Antennae Galaxies"
The deep exposure (reaching a stella limiting magnitude of around Mag 25) shows quite an extensive flocculent and very
faint outer halo, extending in all directions around the galaxies and at the end of the two famously long star streams.
