Antennae Galaxies NGC 4038/4039

Galaxies NGC 4038/4039 also know as the Antennae Galaxies are located in constellation Corvus and about 45 million lightyears away from Earth.

The Antennae Galaxies are an example of colliding galaxies. In better circumstances and longer exposure time it should be possible to see the antennae. Yesterday conditions were moderate with Moonlight (75%) and 100% relative humidity.

Setting: Nikon D7500 and TAL200K f/8.5; ISO 1600 and 21x60s exposure time. Stacking with DeepSkyStacker and final editing using CS4.
