Description

This is a group of small galaxies distant of about 260 million light years (Recession velocity of NGC68: 5907 km/s). The angular diameter of the largest one, NGC68, is 1.3'x1.2'. This picture was taken at f/10 with the Meade LX200 ACF 10" (f=2500) and would deserve a longer exposition so I'll probably spend more nights imaging it.
