Description

This is a combination of ngc 891 at the upper left which is at roughly 30 million light yeas, and a group of galexys, abell 347 in the middle to lower left at roughly 240 million.  The local stars are likely a few hundred  light years away.  Thats some depth of field!   The subs were taken over two nights (Nov 24 and 27).  I haven't figured out how to put multiple dates into the basic data.
