Description

Object type : trio of galaxies
Distance : between 140- and 180 million lightyears

This beautiful trio of galaxies is rather unknown. I shooted for 3 hours under perfect conditions, with very good guiding. This result is way more than I expected. That's what you get with moonless nights.
