Description

I just can't believe how many galaxies are in this cluster;  if one didn't know, half of them might appear to just be stars!

This is by far the most data on a single target I've done, and I've resumed using dark frames on the DSLR, which after extensive testing, has proven useful at such high total integration times. I'll gladly take this result considering the amount of light pollution here and the low altitude of the target later in the nights.
