Description

Another from the Virgo region! A small group of galaxies that trails behind the main Virgo cluster. A little low for me at 32 degrees south but still managed half a night of LRGB imaging. The feature galaxy is the spiral NGC5364 (top right) then the elliptical NGC5363 (bottom right) plus a few smaller companions NGC5356 (bottom) and NGC5348 (bottom left), NGC5360 (just left of NGC5364). What I didn't realise when I chose this target was that I'd be imaging through a satellite super highway with up to 11 satellites per frame; mostly moving through NGC5363. The stacking process seems to have largely solved the issue.
