This dataset captures NGC 4438 and NGC 4435, the interacting galaxy pair known as the Eyes in the Virgo Cluster. The data spans 31.8 hours of total integration collected between April 25 and May 28, 2022, using a Sky Rover 130mm APO Pro telescope with an Atik One 6.0 camera on a Sky-Watcher AZ-EQ6 GT mount. The acquisition includes 109 luminance frames at 600 seconds each, complemented by 30 blue, 25 green, and 27 red frames through Astrodon Gen2 E-Series Tru-Balance filters. These galaxies show dramatic tidal distortions from their gravitational encounter, making them a compelling target for studying galactic interactions. The dataset is available for approximately $13.90 under a CC BY-NC 4.0 license, permitting copying, modification, and non-commercial redistribution.
