The Whale and Crowbar Galaxies

[JimFox]

I captured this about a month ago. It's the Whale Galaxy (NGC4631) and the Crowbar Galaxy (NGC4657). Both are fun and pretty tiny. I like the shapes of both, I hope you do as well.

Lovely - these 2 make a fun paring. Love the details, and excellent star color too.

Yeah, I think they framed together well. They are ones I haven't captured before, so it's fun to get new objects.
