Images of the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 5929 and its interacting companion NGC 5930 have been obtained with HST's Planetary Camera. This interacting pair is also known as Arp 90. Each galaxy was imaged in the wavelength regions of [O III] λλ 4959, 5007, Hα+[N II] λλ 6548, 6583, and the green and red continua. The nuclei of both galaxies contain emission line gas, enhanced in the images by using the appropriate continuum image to remove the contribution of the continuum light in the on-band images.
