Description

This image was supposed to be centred on NGC5985 but due to a typo it actually centered on NGC5981. I decided to leave it as-is simply as i prefer the framing.
Taken over some nights in April 23, this is a total of L 224 x 5', R 92 x 3', G 105 x 3' and B 121 x 3'; all of which is considerably more than i intended but the system was setup to auto and i couldn't attend for a couple of nights so the sequence re-ran itself.
NGC5981 is approx 181MLY, NGC5982 is apporx 140MLY and NGC5985 is approx 199MLY and make a fine combination at this focal length.
