The group is quite interesting.  On first sight I thought 'Oh, the spiral (NGC 5985) must be substantially closer than the others, given the detail you can see there'.  Actually it's much further away than the elliptical (NGC 5982) that hardly shows any structure...

Taken over 3 days (May 23 and June 2/3), and tried some new processing to handle saturated stars.
I never know with the smaller ones whether I should crop the FOV, or leave it max...
