Description

This is a galaxy group shot from overnight on the morning of 4/13/2016. This image has 10 pretty easy to see galaxies. The biggest on the left is M-60, then M-59 about 1/3 from the left edge, and M-58 on the right. The negative image shows more.

The sequence was scheduled for 108 minutes, but technical bugs limited exposure to 60 minutes. Also, I think some thin clouds drained the juice from a few images. This shot involved some new hardware and targets so I learned I need to improve on some techniques. But for my first wide galaxy group, I'm happy.
