This is an image of interacting galaxies that are seen in the Capodimonte Deep Field. The enlargement covers 1250 x 1130 WFI pixels (1 pixel = 0.24 arcsec), or about 5.0 x 4.5 arcmin 2 in the sky. The lower spiral is itself an interactive double. Technical information: this image displays selected areas of the field shown in ESO Press Photo eso0116a at the original WFI scale, hereby also demonstrating the enormous amount of information contained in these wide-field images. North is up and East is left.
