Description

This image is the sum 325 60 secs unguided subs taken during the night of the 14th of May 2022 from my home terrace. Imaging train was Newton Orion USA 250 F 3.9, Omegon Coma Corrector, QHY268 mono camera, Primalucelab UHC filter, Ioptron CEM60EC mount. Aquisition and processing (gradient removal only) with Astroart 8. 8 flats applied.
I love these group of small galaxies, especially ngc 5905 in the center.
Crossing lanes are from satellites that during the night has passed several times over my location.

NGC 5905 is a Hubble-type SBb barred spiral galaxy in the northern constellation of Draco, estimated to be 158 million light-years distant from the Milky Way.
The galaxy was discovered on May 5, 1788 by the German-British astronomer William Herschel. (Translated from german to english - Wikipedia)
