This is a data set from OMI Astro. It's 11.4 hours of R-Ha/G/B. This is actually one of my favorite parts of the sky. These two galaxies are very bright. In my 10", they look like a whirlpool and a wave, about of equal size. I can almost squeeze them in the same field of view with the eyepieces I use. It's quite a sight to come across these very bright objects. In the telescope view, they have no color at all because they are so dim, even though they are about as bright as galaxies appear at the eyepiece. Leave it to the camera to pick up colors. OMI collected the data with a Takahashi TOA 150. I was hoping to work with data collected with a refractor, and that's a good one.
