Description

Hickson 68 - Hickson Compact Group #68 - A group of 5 galaxies near NGC 5350. In 1982 Paul Hickson identified a list of compact galaxies (about 5 in each group). These groups have unusual characteristics and tend to show the effects of dark matter on the universe.

My interest has always been greater in the direction of photography, and astrophotography was a new challenge, however, the more I deal with this fascinating hobby the more the amazing the physics of our universe becomes!

I learned from this image the limits that light pollution and (Moon) has on getting a usable image with my set-up.
