NGC 1531-1532
NGC 1531 and NGC 1532 are a pair of galaxies located about 55 million light-years away in the southern constellation of Eridanus. I captured a supernove a couple of year ago. I didn't have time to do a full imaging session, so this is several 2 minute shots with a color camera. See the additional photo
