NGC 5394, NGC 5395 (Arp 84) & NGC 5380

NGC 5395 spiral galaxy type Sb (larger galaxy at lower left) and NGC 5394 spiral galaxy type SBb/P in
Canes Venatici. Together these galaxies form Arp 84 in the Arp Atlas and are in the class of “Spiral
Galaxies with a High Surface Brightness Companion on Arms”. Also shown to the upper right is NGC
5380, galaxy type E-S0, also in Canes Venatici. Taken May 2, 3, 7 and May 11, 2010. Imaged with
CCD Lab’s Q285M Camera and a C8N at f5 on a Losmandy G11/Gemini mount. The L subframes
were 5 minutes binned 1x1, while the RGB frames were 2.5 minutes binned 2x2. The final total
exposures were L: R : G : B (min) = 290 : 60 : 60: 60. Captured with Nebulosity, calibrated and
sigma combined in Iris with final processing using PixInsight LE and Photoshop CS. North is up.
