NGC 4567 and 4568 are unbarred spiral galaxies in Virgo. This image is a very aggressive crop from the larger field image shown in my earlier post on integration times. The image is pixellated as the RASA 8 scope has a very large field and these galaxies are tiny objects in the captured image. It's always fun to capture colliding galaxies from your own back yard :)
