Let the point $B$ be the reflection of the point $A(2,3)$ with respect to the line $8 x-6 y-23=0$. Let $\Gamma_A$ and $\Gamma_B$ be circles of radii $2$ and $1$ with centres $A$ and $B$ respectively. Let $T$ be a common tangent to the circles $\Gamma_A$ and $\Gamma_B$ such that both the circles are on the same side of $T$. If $C$ is the point of intersection of $T$ and the line passing through $A$ and $B$, then the length of the line segment $AC$ is. . . . . .
