Description

Hickson Compact Group (HCG) #44 lies halfway between Adhafera and Algieba in the constellation Leo. It is about 100 million light years distant.

All things considered, I was pretty happy with how this one came out. I have never tried this beautiful group of galaxies before and will definitely revisit this little jewel when I get my new scope. Still having a problem with the mount from time to time, but they are at least becoming less frequent now as I work through the problem.
