ASTRO: Another Cocoon NGC 4485 and 4490

Since everyone was posting this guy I decided to give it a try. Fits my
disturbed galaxy theme of late. With my dark skies I decided to go
rather deep on these two. NGC 4490 is the big one. Most sources say it
is a highly disturbed edge on spiral. NGC 4485 is also listed as a
spiral. Both are surrounded by a haze of stars ripped from them by the
interaction. While I processed this to go deep and thus somewhat over
exposed the HII regions I also processed it to go even deeper. I'll
post that one separately to keep the download sizes reasonable.

Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

Rick, I think this one is my favourite among your processing versions. And a
very good picture indeed.
