Comments:

These two galaxies have passed either nearby each other or through each other which caused stars to be strung out in "tails."

Difficult object because the tails are so dim... Just barely above the sky background brightness I think...

Also shot during a full moon! I need to reshoot this at new moon so sky is darker...
