After I cropped the tidal tail of the beautiful galaxy NGC 4747 in my image of May 2020 unfortunately, it was necessary to image the pair NGC 4725 its tidally interacting companion NGC 4747 again with more success. NGC 4712 fits in the larger field of the „Dual Rig“ too.
It was not the „next season“, but I did not forget it.
Here is the image from 2020:

Unfortunately I chose an entirely wrong framing. So the tidal tail of NGC 4747 was cropped.
Have to repeat it in the next galaxy-season.
