Description

I found this group of galaxies while scanning in Stellarium for high azimuth deep sky objects away from a the glow of the full moon.  These were well placed overhead and after processing with only 18 subs, I was happy to obtain this image.  I'd like to go back for more subs at a later date, but these groupings are fun to find and "unwrap" them to find exciting spirals.  I'm still having issues with brighter stars giving off artifacts, but gradually improving my capture and processing.  The nifty little spiral in the lower left is listed as PGC49480.
