These 2 amazing galaxies lie next to each other - each one a beauty by itself!
Unfortunately they won't fit in a single frame so a mosaic was needed.
This is a 2 frame mosaic - each one of:
Luminance - 2 hrs
RGB 20 min each
Total of 6 hrs

Telescope: ASA600 24" RC with Reducer at f4.5
Mount: ASA DDM200 Direct Drive with Absolute Encoders
Camera: Moravian G3 61000 pro
