captured tangled galaxies (Halifax)

For fun, I asked the Burke-Gaffney Observatory to image the two entangled galaxies in Arp 278.

interacting galaxies in Arp 287 in luminance

Luminance frame at 60 seconds, 10 subexposures, FITS Liberator, Paint.NET. North is up and east is left.

These are interacting galaxies NGC 7253A and NGC 7253B.

I tried to visually observe this pair on 24 Sep '17.
