The camera observed the early phases of a galactic merger, in which a large barred spiral galaxy will ultimately swallow a dwarf companion galaxy.

This feature enables astronomers to obtain detailed images of such enormous galactic interactions. Among the other goals, the camera keeps an eye on the impact of dark matter on galaxies throughout the visible Universe.

Additionally, at times, it works in tandem with the 4-meter Blanco telescope to detect light originating from highly faint celestial objects in our Solar System.
