This astrophoto was shot using my 200mmF5 Newtonian reflector with an Artemis 4021 mono cooled CCD camera in its primary focus. It is a combination of 8 20min exposures.

NGC3430 and NGC3395/3396 (Arp 270)
The constellation Leo Minor is one of my favorites, it is literally -covered- with very interesting galaxies. This is an astrophoto of NGC3430 and its surroundings. You also see the two interacting galaxies NGC3395/3396, also known as Arp 270. These galaxies, standing at 90 million light years, are starting to collide with each other. They can be detected using a 4" telescope! I am definitately going to try to see these objects using my 200mm telescope.
