Description

Wide field image around NGC1055 as well as M77, among other NGC's and IC's objects. There are a lot of nice smaller galaxies in that region.

I could not integrate more data because the object moves quite close to my neighbour's roof. I noticed some issues as you image close to a large structure like the roof of a house, it seems it induces some gradients, stronger than usual ones.

So next, if possible, it should be with a longer focal scope, to get more individual details of the three main galaxies.
