The VLT records faint structures in colliding galaxies

The image shows a view of IC 1182, based on a mosaic of sky exposures with the VLT Test Camera through a red optical filter. It shows the entire field that was observed, reproduced in "negative" (black stars on a white sky) in order to show the faint outer structures.
