Antennae Galaxies (Arp 244)
Two colliding galaxies in the constellation Corvus, with enhanced star formation rate and rich hydrogen regions. The star stream resembles an insect's antenna, which is how it got the name.
This is an LRGB composition. The red uses the R filter, the green uses the G filter, the blue uses the B filter, and the L filter is used for luminance. Stack of 8 x 600 seconds for the L and B, 9 x 600 seconds for the R and G. Total integration of 6 hours and 40 minutes.
