Description

First set of images of this quite large group of galaxies. It is quite amazing the number of galaxies in this region. There are more images to go, but the weather makes me to have a break. This is a 3 panel Mosaic of the region in order to have the whole group on the same image.

I have uploaded two images, as revisions c and d, which are actually crop of two groups, one the Centaurus chain, on the top right of the wide field image and the other group at the centre left.

Title: Triple the integration time.

Description: I did capture more data on the same 3 panel region of galaxies (three times the original time). Now the Centaurus chain, the group of the right hand side corner shows beautiful galaxies of different shapes, and some of them colliding.
